Do you know sohcahtoa?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
A way of remembering how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Right. And so do you know what cosine represents?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
idk y but im still herer and it shows somtimes that i get off this question but im not just saying. And the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle
Still Need Help?

Well, it's adjacent/hypotenuse. And can you see which side is adjacent to \(\theta~?\)
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
yea its on the acute angle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And you know which side is the hypotenuse, right?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
yea its the bc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So if you know the adjacent and hypotenuse, you just have the put them in the cosine ratio.

So you would divide the adjective side would be 4 and 3 and 5

@Jadeishere @ganeshie8
OpenStudy (jadeishere):
adj leg is 3
hyp is 5
the cosine ratio is adj/ hyp
so Cos0=3/5
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Ur smart thats y i tag u xD
Still Need Help?
