If tan(A) = 353\over5, then cos(A) is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5345\over{\sqrt{34}}.

tan(A) = 3/5

P = 3 and B = 5

Hypotenuse = √(32 + 52) = √(9 + 25) = √34

cos(A) = Base/Hypotenuse = 5/√34

Therefore, the value of cos(A) is 5/√34.
