Start by identifying the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Then find the sides that are opposite and adjacent to ∠ N.
5/13≈ 0.38
For the given right triangle, we want to write the ratio for the cosine of ∠ N.
Let's start by identifying the hypotenuse of the triangle and the sides that are opposite and adjacent to ∠ N.
We see that the length of the hypotenuse is 39. The length of the side adjacent to ∠ N is 15 and the length of the side opposite to ∠ N is 36. With this information, we can find the desired ratio.
