Explanation:

Step1: Recall cosine formula

$\cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$ for a right - triangle. In right - triangle $KLM$ with respect to angle $M$, the adjacent side to angle $M$ is $LM = \sqrt{83}$ and the hypotenuse is $KM = 25$.

Step2: Calculate cosine value

$\cos M=\frac{\sqrt{83}}{25}$. Now, $\sqrt{83}\approx9.11$. So, $\cos M=\frac{9.11}{25}=0.3644$.

Step3: Round to nearest hundredth

Rounding $0.3644$ to the nearest hundredth gives $0.36$.

Answer:

$0.36$
