what triangle you have a picture?
Answer:
35/37
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the ratio that represents the cosine of angle O
Firstly, please check attachment for diagram of the triangle.
Mathematically, the trigonometric term Cos means the ratio of the length of the adjacent to that of the hypotenuse
The hypotenuse is the longest length which is 37 which represents the length ON
The side adjacent to angle O is the side OP which is 35
Thus, the ratio representing the cosine of angle O is 35/37
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
36.50
To two decimal places
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypothenuse side in a right angle triangle has 58cm. While the angle touching one of its leg is 51°. How long is that leg.
From the right angled triangle, the size of the leg touching the hypothenuse is the adjacent side of the triangle, hence in trigonometry, the cosine rule is used, because it involves the adjacent and the hypotenuse.
Cos 51°=x/58
Let the size of the leg be x
Making x the subject
x=58(Cos51°)
x=36.500058
Correct to two decimal place
x=36.50
