Answer:
The value of cos theta in the diagram below is:
0.6=3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the value of cos theta with the help of the given figure.
We know that the cos theta is also defined as a ratio of the base to the hypotenuse of the right triangle that is formed by enclosing that angle theta.
i.e. in the given triangle we have:
The base of the right triangle with respect to angle theta is:AC=0.6 units.
Also, hypotenuse of the right triangle is: AB=1 units.
Hence,the value of cos theta is:
[tex]\cos \theta=\dfrac{AC}{AB}\\\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{0.6}{1}\\\\\cos \theta=0.6=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
Hence, the value of cos theta is:
0.6=3/5
