can you find the side opposite to theta ?

Directrix (directrix):

cos(Θ) = (adjacent leg) over what? Check the attached chart of right triangle trig ratios. @lowcard2

i got 4/5 whatd you get?

Directrix (directrix):

Adjacent leg is 8. Hypotenuse is 17. So, the cosine of theta is 8/17.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

No. It should be cos(theta) = adj/hyp Just follow the drawing here, and if you have more question just verify. :) |dw:1379748902241:dw|
