In ΔRST, the measure of ∠T=90°, RT = 16, SR = 65, and TS = 63. What is the value of the cosine of ∠S to the nearest hundredth?



Answer :

Answer:

4.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's solve this step-by-step:

1) We are given a right triangle ΔRST, where ∠T = 90°, RT = 16, SR = 65, and TS = 63.

2) To find the cosine of ∠S, we need to find the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of ∠S.

3) The adjacent side is SR = 65.

4) The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, which is RT = 16.

5) Therefore, the cosine of ∠S is:

cos(∠S) = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos(∠S) = 65 / 16

cos(∠S) = 4.0625

6) Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the value of the cosine of ∠S is 4.06.
