I forgot to label the triangle below! I just know that the cos A = 0.48. Based on this information, which angle should be marked A?

Answer:

angle 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric mnemonic SOH CAH TOA, we know that cos or cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and hypotenuse side.

This means that if cos A = 0.48, A is the measure of the angle which it's relative adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle will be around 0.48.

Let's try angle 2, cos (angle 2) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 7.8 / 8.9 = 0.876404494382 ≈ 0.87 ≠ 0.48. Since the proportions are not equal, this angle cannot be the one marked as A.

Since angle 3 is a right angle, the adjacent could be either side so it cannot be correct. Thus angle 1 is correct.
