Question
give the ratio for cos x; opp/adj; adj/opp; opp/hyp; adj/hyp
Step1: Recall trigonometric ratio definitions
In a right - triangle, for an angle \(x\), \(\cos x=\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\) (by the definition of cosine in trigonometry).
Step2: Match with given options
Among the options:
- Option A (\(\text{Opp}/\text{Adj}\)) is the definition of \(\tan x\).
- Option B (\(\text{Adj}/\text{Opp}\)) is the reciprocal of \(\tan x\).
- Option C (\(\text{Opp}/\text{Hyp}\)) is the definition of \(\sin x\).
- Option D (\(\text{Adj}/\text{Hyp}\)) matches the definition of \(\cos x\).
