Answer:
cos P= 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
find the hypotenuse of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\12^2+16^2=c^2\\400=c^2\\c=20[/tex]
to find the cosine of a right triangle you do the adjacent leg over the hypotenuse which in this case is 12/20 simplified is 3/5
always remember SOH CAH TOA!
