Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
In short, we have this equation
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
In the case of cos(A) = 18/19.5 we can see that
adjacent = 18
hypotenuse = 19.5
The side of 18 cm is next to angle 2, so the 18 cm side is adjacent to angle 2 (in contrast, the 7.5 cm side is the opposite leg in relation to angle 2)
So that's why the answer is angle 2
In other words, replace the '2' angle marker with 'A' to be able to write cos(A) = 18/19.5
We don't know what the question is.
It could be "What is the selling price ?"
If that's the question, then . . .
Since the store marks up their cost by 60% before they sell
the thing, the price they sell it for is
(1.60 of their cost).
You know their cost. The selling price is (1.60 x $80) .
This is an improper. Perhaps you can fix it, so that I can assist you with it? I apologise.

.
Taking square root of both sides gives,
Since B is in the first quadrant, we proceed with;
, because the tangent ratio is positive in the first quadrant.
