Question

The Legs of a right triangle are lengths x and x square root of 3. The cosine of the smallest angle is

Answer 1

read answer above you’re welcome

Answer 2

Explanation:

hypotenuse=√(x²+(x√3)²)=√(x²+3x²)=√(4x²)=2x

sides are x,x√3,2x

smallest side=x

smallest angle=opposite smallest side

let smallest angle=α

cos α=(x√3)/2x=√3/2
