Answer:

Explanation:

Triangle IGH is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle

GH represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With ∠G as the reference angle,

GI represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

HI represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine GH, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

GH² = 45² + 28²

GH² = 2025 + 784 = 2809

GH = √2809 = 53

To determine Cos G, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Cos θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos G = 28/53

Cos G = 0.53
