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 do you find the hypotenuse with a cosine and or sine?
For a right angle triangle:- hypotenuse = adjacent/cosine or hypotenuse = opposite/sine
Which angle length does cosine give you?
Sides have lenght, angles do not. Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. Cosine can be used to find either of these sides if the other is known.
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.
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.
