Question

Given triangle EFG shown below, state the value of the cosine of angle G the hypotenuse which is also side EG = 53 side EF = 45 side GF = 28 F is a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

$cos(G)=\frac{28}{53}$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle EFG

$cos(G)=\frac{GF}{EG}$ ----> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

$cos(G)=\frac{28}{53}$
