Question

find the value of \\( \cos t \\) rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
\\( \cos t= \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the cosine formula

In a right - triangle, \(\cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\). For angle \(T\), the adjacent side is \(ST = 14\) and the hypotenuse is \(RT=50\).

Step2: Calculate \(\cos T\)

Using the formula \(\cos T=\frac{ST}{RT}\), substitute \(ST = 14\) and \(RT = 50\). So, \(\cos T=\frac{14}{50}=0.28\)

Answer:

\(0.28\)
