First of all, I can't tell what angle you're talking about, because you failed

to mention the unit of your angle.

-- Cosine of 16 degrees is roughly 0.9613 ... a positive number.

-- Cosine of 16 radians is roughly -0.9577 ... a negative number.

-- Cosine of 16 grads is roughly 0.9686 ... a positive number.

Over any reasonably large range of angles, half of them have positive cosines,

and the other half of them have negative cosines.
