Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse 

If angle A is in the first quadrant, that means both x and y coordinate are positive.

Now you can draw triangle. Since sinA = 1/3, opposite side may be 1, so then hypotenuse side must be 3.

Now you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of adjacent side:

a² + b² = c²
1 + b² = 9
b² = 8
b = 2√2

So adjacent side is 2√2.

So now we can solve for cosA:

cosA = adjacent / hypotenuse = 2√2 / 3

Final answer: 2√2 / 3

How many ways can you arrange the letters in the word prime?
Jobisdone [24]
There are 5 letters in the word "prime"

Imagine we had 5 slots to fill. They are empty initially. 
Slot 1 has 5 choices to pick from
Once we pick a letter, we have 4 choices left over for slot 2
Slot 3 will have 3 choices
Slot 4 will have 2 choices
Slot 5 will have 1 choice

We have this countdown: 5,4,3,2,1

which multiplies out to 5*4*3*2*1 = 120

There are 120 unique ways to arrange the letters. Order matters. Because order matters, this is a permutation.
