Answer 1

Answer:

cosine of angle a = 8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Remember these are the trigonometric ratios

SOC CAH TOA

Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)

Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)

Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)

And we are asked to find the Cosine of angle A

Remember cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse

Hypotenuse - The longest side

Adjacent - the side that's not the hypotenuse nor the opposite

The adjacent side length of angle A is equal to 8 and the hypotenuse is equal to 17

so the cosine of angle a = 8/17
