Answer: cos(theta) = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
If sin(theta) = 4/5, what is the value of cos(theta) in quadrant 1?
sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1
(4/5)^2 + cos^2(theta) = 1
16/25 + cos^2(theta) = 1
cos^2(theta) = 1 - 16/25
cos^2(theta) = 25/25 - 16/25
cos^2(theta) = (25 - 16)25
cos^2(theta) = 9/25
cos(theta) = sqrt(9/25) ... we are in quadrant I, so cos(theta) > 0
cos(theta) = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:
sin^2teta+cos^2teta=1
cos^2teta=1-sin^2teta
=1-(4/5)^2
=1-16/25
=(25-16)/25
=9/25
Taking square root of both sides.
cos teta=3/5
