find cos(A). reduce the ratio if necessary.

Answer:
[tex]cos(A) =\frac{3}{5}=0.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition the cosine of an angle is the quotient between the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse.
In other words:
[tex]cos (A) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
In this triangle the length of the side adjacent to the angle A is 30, and the length of the hypotenuse is 50
So:
[tex]cos(A) = \frac{30}{50}[/tex]
Simplifying we have that:
[tex]cos(A) = \frac{3}{5}=0.6[/tex]
Answer:
Final answer is [tex]\cos\left(A\right)=\frac{3}{5}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Using given information in the picture, we need ot find the missing value of Cos(A).
Apply formula of cosine function which is :
[tex]\cos\left(A\right)=\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]\cos\left(A\right)=\frac{30}{50}[/tex]
[tex]\cos\left(A\right)=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Hence final answer is [tex]\cos\left(A\right)=\frac{3}{5}[/tex].
