Answer:
given AB = 12 and BC = 5
then make a right angle triangle
so you know that cos = base / hypotenuse
perpendicular is given BC = 5
Base is given = AB = 12
applying phythagoras theorem
we get hypotenuse
H^2 = P^2 + B^2
H^2 = 144 + 25
H^2 = 169
H = √ 169
H = 13
you need cos c so measure from point c in this case base will be 5 cm and hypotenuse 13 cm
so cos c = base / hypotenuse
cos c = 5/ 13

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
- ∆ABC right angled at / B
- AB= 12
- BC = 5
To find:-
- Cos C
In rt / 'd ∆ ABC; using the Pythagoras theorem we have,
AC^2 = BC^2+ AB^2
AC^2 = 144 + 25
AC^2= 169
AC = 13 units
We know that;
Cos (theta) = Base/Hypotenuse
Base = BC = 5 units.
Perpendicular = AB = 12 units.
Hypotenuse = AC = 13 units.
