SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

The cosine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. In triangle SQR, for ∠S, the adjacent side is SR and the hypotenuse is SQ.

Adjacent side SR = 16
Hypotenuse SQ = 34

Therefore, cos(S) = SR/SQ = 16/34 = 8/17 after simplification.
