I could answer that for you in a snap if I knew the size of angle 'b'.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
Wait! There is an answer. Not a useful one, but an answer nonetheless.
The cosine of angle 'b' is the square root of [ 1 minus the square of the sine of angle 'b' ] .
You heard it here first.

If the cosine of angle B is 0.2536 in a right triangle how can I find the measure of ( acute ) angle B with just that information?
Angle of B is cos^-1*(0.2536) = 75.309 degrees to three decimal places
When is secant not defined?
The secant of an angle is the reciprocal of the cosine of the angle. So the secant is not defined whenever the cosine is zero That is, whenever the angle is a multiple of 180 degrees (or pi radians).
What angle is Sine and cosine equal?
at a 45 degree angle, or pi/4
If the tangent of an angle is 2 what is the cosine?
The cosine is ±1/sqrt(5) = ±0.4472 (approx).
What is the cosine ratio?
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).
If the cosine of angle B is 0.2536 in a right triangle how can I find the measure of ( acute ) angle B with just that information?
Angle of B is cos^-1*(0.2536) = 75.309 degrees to three decimal places
If the cosine of B is 65 what is the angle?
Cosine cannot have this kind of high value, it ranges from -1 to +1
What is a characteristic of a vector?
It has only magnitude and no direction. It depends on magnitude of two vectors which are multiplying and cosine of angle between them. A . B = AB (cosine of angle between them). Best example is 'work done by a force' = force . displacement = Fd(cosine of angle between force and displacement)
What is the ratio of the cosine of an angle?
Fora right angle triangle: cosine angle = adjacent/hypotenuse
What is the cosine of a 60 degree angle?
Cosine is 0.5
What are the interior angles to 1 decimal place of a scalene triangle with sides 12 cm 14 cm and 16 cm showing work?
Let the sides be a, b and c and their opposite angles be A, B and C Using the cosine rule angle A = 75.5 degrees Using the cosine rule angle B = 57.9 degrees Angle C muct be 46.6 degrees because there are 180 degrees in a triangle Cosine Rule: cos A = (b2+c2-a2)/(2*b*c)
What is the cosine function about?
The cosine function is mathematical equation to determine the adjacent angle of a triangle. The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the hypotenuse: so called because it is the sine of the co-angle.
What is given two sides and the included angle?
The cosine rule which is: a2 = b2+c2-2*b*c*cosine A This is used to find the third side of a triangle when the two other sides are known along with the angle between them. Used when the triangle is not a right angle.
How is cosine defined?
In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side of that angle to the hypotenuse.
If A and B are two unit vectors and is the angle between them Then A B is a unit vector Find?
Your question is kind of confusing, but if you're asking what the angle between two unit vectors A and B is, then the answer is: the inverse cosine of the dot products of A and B.
How do you find the angle of a cosine?
You mean, you have the cosine, and want the angle? That is called arc-cosine, often written as cos-1x. Your scientific calculator should have a "shift" key or something similar, which you press, followed by the cosine key. That will give you the inverse cosine or arc-cosine.
How can you solve for angle A when only side a and side b of a right triangle are given in trigonometric functions?
It depends on the relationship of the sides to the angle. Assuming that neither side a or side b are the hypotenuse (longest side of the right triangle) and that side A is opposite the angle A and side b is closest (adjacent) to angle A then side a over side b will give the tangent of the angle A. If either side a or side b is the hypotenuse then when multiplied together their relationship to the angle A will give either the Sine or the Cosine of the angle A. Tangent = Opposite side / Adjacent side. Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse. Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse. A full explanation with diagram is at the related link below:
