If sin A = 3 divided by 5 which is the value of cos A?


Rate This Answer

A5 Cos A = 4/5. This can be calculated using several different methods. Sin = Adjacent side of an angle ÷ hypotenuse. Cos = Opposite side of an angle ÷ hypotenuse. By Pythagoras : 52 = 32 + L2 : L2 = 25 - 9 = 16 : L = ?16 = 4. Therefore Cos A = 4/5. There is an identity Sin2A + Cos2A = 1 : (3/5)2 + Cos2A = 1 : Cos2A = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25 :Cos A = ?(16/25) = 4/5.
