Well, in order to answer this problem we need to use the <span>the Pythagorean Theorem and the  it will be like this:
cos = x / hypotenuse
cos= 12/13 
I think with this you can figure the rest out. Hope this helps</span>

Answer:

The value of cosine is \frac{12}{13}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that  an angle {\theta}, with the point (12,-5) is  on its terminating side, then the adjacent sides has measure =12 and the opposite side has measure =-5.

Now, from the figure drawn, using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Hyp)^2=(Base)^2+(Per)^2

⇒(H)^2=(12)^2+(-5)^2

⇒(H)^2=144+25

⇒(H)^2=169

⇒H=13

Thus, the value of hypotenuse is 13units.

Now, the value of cosine is given as:

cosine=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

⇒cosine=\frac{12}{13}

Therefore, the value of cosine is \frac{12}{13}.

Answer:

30, 30, 32, 32, 34, 38, 38, 38. Thats how you first need to set it up then what you do is add them all up which would equal to 272. Then you take 272 dived by how many numbers there are (theres 8 numbers) so you do 272/8 which would be 34! So 34 would be your answer.
