What are Trigonometric functions?
The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle.
[tex]\rm \sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\\[/tex]
where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.
In a right angle, the cosine function of trigonometry is the ratio of the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
For angle θ, the dimension of the triangle will be,
Perpendicular = 16
Base = 12
Hypotenuse = 20
Now, the measure of cos(θ) will be,
Cos(θ) = Base / Hypotenuse
= 12 / 20
= 6 / 10
= 0.6
Hence, the value of cos(θ) in the given triangle is 0.6.
