Find the cosine of each acute angle

Answer:
cos P = 53 degrees
cos Q = 37 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
cos P = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}[/tex]
cos P = [tex]\frac{24}{40}[/tex]
cos P = 0.60
Cos-1 of 0.60 is 53.13 (round to the nearest whole number)
cos P = 53 degrees
cos Q = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}[/tex]
cos Q = [tex]\frac{32}{40}[/tex]
cos Q = 0.80
Cos of 0.80 is 36.86 (round to the nearest whole number)
cos Q = 37 degrees
To check anser:
90 + 53 + 37 = 180
180 = 180
