Question

express cos p as a fraction in simplest terms.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cosine definition

In a right - triangle, $\cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$. For $\angle P$, the adjacent side to $\angle P$ is $8$ and the hypotenuse is $29$.

Step2: Write the cosine value

$\cos P=\frac{8}{29}$

Answer:

$\frac{8}{29}$
