What is cos D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

53.9 your equations is cosx= adj/hyp. your adj is 33 and your hyp is 56. divide them and use the inverse cos button on your calculator to get the answer i got (:

ok imma write that in my notes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

That's a good way to memorize them csc would be inverse of sin i.e hypotenuse/opposite sec would be inverse of cos i.e hypotenuse/adjacent cot would be inverse of tan i.e adjacent/opposite (for the INVERSE flip the fraction upside down)

when i divide it it comesout with a bunch of numbers

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

When you divide what by what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at what i wrote, you gotta use the inverse cos button

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you do that you will still get a bunch of numbers, you round to the nearest 10th

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

write your answer as a fraction (I mean for Cos(D) ) DON"T PUT A DECIMAL, PLEASE

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@ninamarie, he is just dealing with Sohcahtoa right now. He need to find Cos(D) using it, this way he can get a precise value

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@Mason_Jones573 Cos= adjacent / hypotenuse can you tell me what the adjacent and the hypotenuse are ?
