Question

help!!!
how do you find a cosine ratio?

Answer 1

you got an example?

Answer 2

here is my example \[\cos(x)=\frac{4}{5}\]

Answer 3

but that not be what you mean
a specific question would help

Answer 4

i just need to know how to find the angle.

Answer 5

the angle or the cosine of the angle?

Answer 6

the cosine of an angle

Answer 7

do you have the sides of a right triangle?

Answer 8

yeah hypotenuse is 2 long leg is sr of 3 and short leg is 1

Answer 9

sr is square root

Answer 10

oh ok

Answer 11

it is the length of the "adjacent' side over the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 12

so it kind of depends on which angle and how it is oriented

Answer 13

do you know what i mean by "adjacent" ?

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

so in the above picture \[\cos(x)=\frac{a}{h}\]

Answer 16

if it looks like that, then \[\cos(x0=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\] but it may not look like that

Answer 17

for this one \[\cos(x)=\frac{1}{2}\]

Answer 18

the problem i was given looked like this..
