Eliminate the fractions by multiplying by least common multiple.
4,9,12 all go into 36 evenly. Multiply entire equation by 36.
36/4 = 9
36/9 = 4
36/12 = 3
New equation looks like:
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
And irrational number is a number than cannot be written as a simple fraction.
Two good examples of irrational numbers are PI and the square root of 2. These numbers have never-ending decimals, and their decimals never repeat.
