The cosine of theta is adjacent over hypotenuse, given a right triangle, theta not being the 90 degree angle, adjacent not being the hypotenuse, and theta being the angle between adjacent and hypotenuse.
In a unit triangle, i.e. in a unit circle circumscribed with radius one, and theta and the center of the circle at the origin, cosine of theta is X.

What is the ratio of the cosine of an angle?
Fora right angle triangle: cosine angle = adjacent/hypotenuse
What is a cosine?
In trigonometry, when we look at right triangles, the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.
What is the cosine of phi?
phi = [(1+sqrt(5)]/2 = 1.6180, the golden ratio. cosine(phi) = -0.0472 approx.
What is a tangent ratio?
The tangent is the ratio of sine over cosine; also, in a unit circle, Y over X.
What are trig ratios?
Trig ratios or to give them their proper name are trigonometrical rations applicable to right angle triangles and they are tangent ratio, sine ratio and cosine ratio.
Which ratio describes the tangent function?
The ratio of sine and cosine.
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 ratio correctly describes the sine function?
In a right triangle, the sine of an (non right angle) angle would the ratio of the opposite side (opposite to the angle selected) and the hypotenuse
What is a cosine ratio?
In a right angle triangle it is: cosine ratio = adjacent/hypotenuse
What is the ratio of adjacent to hypotenuse?
It is the cosine ratio.
What is the ratio that is the reciprocal of the cosine?
it would be secant, 1/cosine
What is the cosine of a ratio that has 0 as its numerator?
If the numerator is 0 AND the denominator is not 0, then the ratio is 0. And cosine of 0 is 1.
How do you determine the ratio of cosine?
By doing it
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).
Does your cosine like somebody?
A cosine is a trigonometric ratio and is not capable of liking or disliking anything!
What is the ratio of the cosine of an angle?
Fora right angle triangle: cosine angle = adjacent/hypotenuse
In a right triangle the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse?
is called the cosine ratio
