A number between 0 and 1. The value depends on the angle between
the two sides, and it's called the cosine of that angle.
In a specific angle for a right triangle the cosine ratio is the ratio between the lengths of the adjacent side (side touching the angle) and the hypotenuse (longest side).
False because sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
The opposite side of an adjacent is the hypotenuse. Sin(q) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos(q) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan(q) = Opposite / Adjacent Reference: http://easycalculation.com/trigonometry/triangle-angles.php

adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
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.
the adjacent side over the hypotenuse
That's the cosine of the angle to which the 'adjacent' side is adjacent.
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.
A TRIGONOMIC ratio is a ratio between either the opposite side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (sine), the adjacent side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (cosine), or the opposite side of an angle and the adjacent side (tangent). Mnemonic: SOH CAH TOA S= sine C= cosine T= tangent O= opposite A= adjacent H= hypotenuse
The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse is the sine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse is the cosine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to that angle is the tangent of that angle.
It is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to that of the hypotenuse.
It is the cosine ratio.
This ratio is called the sine ratio for a right triangle. A simple way to remember this is by using the mnemonic 'SOHCAHTOA', where SOH stands for sine equals the ratio opposite side/ hypotenuse, COH is cosine equals adjacent side/hypotenuse, and TOA is tangent equals opposite side/adjacent side.
In a specific angle for a right triangle the cosine ratio is the ratio between the lengths of the adjacent side (side touching the angle) and the hypotenuse (longest side).
