Best Answer

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


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 the ratio of the cosine of an angle?

Fora right angle triangle: cosine angle = adjacent/hypotenuse


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.


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 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.


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:
