To find the value of cosA in triangle ABC where a = 3, b = 4, and c = 5, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Verify if the triangle is a right triangle We check if the triangle satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Here, we have: - a = 3 (one side) - b = 4 (another side) ...
