Question

Find cosX and cosZ. Write each answer as a fraction and as a decimal. Round to four decimals places, if necessary. Fractions to reduce and use /.

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the acronym, SOHCAHTOA.

✔️Cos X = adj/hyp (CAH)

Adj = 10

Hyp = 26

Cos X = 10/26

Simplify

Cos X = 5/13 (as a fraction)

Cos X = 0.3846 (as a decimal to 4 d.p)

✔️Cos Z = adj/hyp (CAH)

Adj = 24

Hyp = 26

Cos Z = 24/26

Cos Z = 12/13 (as a fraction)

Cos Z = 0.9231 (as a decimal to 4 d.p)
