Ardin · Answer

its def not interchangeable, its either 4.24/3 or  3/4.24 and then i think the opposite formula on the bottom?

mhanifa · Answer

This is an isosceles triangle. So A and B are equal. Their cosine would be same as well

Ardin · Answer

so either 4.24/3 or 3/4.24 over itself? That would be one right?

mhanifa · Answer

Cosine = adjacent leg / hypotenuse

mhanifa · Answer

Hypotenuse is always the longest side

Ardin · Answer

right

mhanifa · Answer

What do you think?

Ardin · Answer

3/4.24 i think

mhanifa · Answer

Correct

Ardin · Answer

it would still end up as 1 right? since the formula goes over itself

mhanifa · Answer

Yes, regardless the value they are same. So their quotient is 1.

Ardin · Answer

ok, thank you!
