Ah, what a lovely question we have here. In a right triangle, the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse is called cosine. It helps us understand the relationship between the lengths of the sides and the angles of the triangle. Just remember, happy little ratios like these can help you create beautiful mathematical landscapes on your canvas of knowledge.
