Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Use the Pythagorean identity sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1.

    Substitute the given value sin⁡θ=95\sin \theta = \frac{9}{5} into the identity.

    (95)2+cos⁡2θ=1\left(\frac{9}{5}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1
  2. Square the term and simplify.

    8125+cos⁡2θ=1\frac{81}{25} + \cos^2 \theta = 1
  3. Isolate cos⁡2θ\cos^2 \theta.

    cos⁡2θ=1−8125\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{81}{25}

    To subtract, express 1 as 2525\frac{25}{25}:

    cos⁡2θ=2525−8125\cos^2 \theta = \frac{25}{25} - \frac{81}{25} cos⁡2θ=25−8125\cos^2 \theta = \frac{25 - 81}{25} cos⁡2θ=−5625\cos^2 \theta = -\frac{56}{25}
  4. Analyze the result.

    The square of any real number, including cos⁡θ\cos \theta, cannot be negative. Since cos⁡2θ=−5625\cos^2 \theta = -\frac{56}{25} is a negative value, there is no real value for cos⁡θ\cos \theta that satisfies this equation.

    Additionally, the value sin⁡θ=95\sin \theta = \frac{9}{5} (which is 1.8) is outside the valid range for the sine function. The sine of any real angle must be between −1-1 and 1 (inclusive), i.e., −1≤sin⁡θ≤1-1 \le \sin \theta \le 1.
    Since 95>1\frac{9}{5} > 1, there is no real angle θ\theta for which sin⁡θ=95\sin \theta = \frac{9}{5}. Therefore, no such acute angle exists.

    Given the impossible condition, it is not possible to find a real value for cos⁡θ\cos \theta.
