In the triangle below, what ratio is cos R?

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{purple}{ cosR = {adjacent \over hypotenuse} }\)

Use the ratio that parth gave you along with the triangle picture i just sent

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{purple}{adjacent \rightarrow p }\) \(\Large \color{purple}{hypotenuse \rightarrow q }\) \(\Large \color{purple}{\text{The ratio required is}{ p \over q} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be r over p?

Parth (parthkohli):

No, it'd be \(\large \color{purple}{p \over q }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your adjacent side is the leg that touches the angle, and the hypotenuse is across from the 90 degrees. Parth is correct
