The answer depends on what "it" is.
The cosine function is an even function which means that cos(-x) = cos(x). So, if cos of an angle is positive, then the cos of the negative of that angle is positive and if cos of an angle is negative, then the cos of the negative of that angle is negaitive.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To find the angle for cos equals 0.2874, you can use the arccos function on a calculator. This function will give you the angle in radians where cos of that angle is equal to 0.2874. Just remember to breathe, take your time, and enjoy the process of discovering the beauty of mathematics.
Its a ratio in a right angle triangle, cos angle = adjacent / hypotonuse.
To find the cosine of an angle in degrees using a calculator, first ensure that the calculator is set to degree mode (not radians). Enter the angle in degrees, then press the "cos" button. The calculator will display the cosine value for that angle. For example, to find cos(60°), input 60, select "cos," and the result will be 0.5.
You need to use trigonometry cosine (angle) = length/diagonal diagonal = length/cos(angle)
Power factor = cos (angle)PF=cos @
Cos(2A) = Cos(A + A) Double Angle Indentity Cos(A+A) = Cos(A)Cos(A) - Sin(A)Sin(A) => Cos^(2)[A] - SIn^(2)[A] => Cos^(2)[A] - (1 - Cos^(2)[A] => 2Cos^(2)[A] - 1
Because in dot product we take projection fashion and that is why we used cos and similar in cross product we used sin
cos(30)cos(55)+sin(30)sin(55)=cos(30-55) = cos(-25)=cos(25) Note: cos(a)=cos(-a) for any angle 'a'. cos(a)cos(b)+sin(a)sin(b)=cos(a-b) for any 'a' and 'b'.
Use trigonometry and the cosine ratio: cos = adj/hyp and when rearraged hyp = adj/cos
Cos(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse. Cos(a) = a/h Substitute Cos(X) = 5/13 = 0.384615... A = Cos^*-1( 0.384615 .... A = 67.38013505... degrees.
iF the angle of 72 is measured in degrees, cos 72° ≈ 0.3090 If the angle of 72 is measured in radians, cos 72 rad ≈ −0.9673 If the angle of 72 is measured in gradians, cos 72 grad ≈ 0.4258
