Answer

The cosine ratio is a trigonometric ratio in a right-angled triangle that relates the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.

It is defined as:

cos⁡(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

where θ\theta is one of the acute angles in the triangle.
