Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the given angle \( \alpha \) and the trigonometric function you need to find, which in this case is \( \cos \alpha \).
Recall the definition of cosine in a right triangle: \( \cos \alpha = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \).
Examine the figure provided (usually a right triangle) to determine the lengths of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse relative to angle \( \alpha \).
Substitute the lengths of the adjacent side and hypotenuse into the cosine ratio formula: \( \cos \alpha = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \).
Simplify the fraction if possible to find the exact value of \( \cos \alpha \).
