Given sin θ = 3 5 \sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} sin θ = 5 3 , acute θ \theta θ .
Use sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1 \sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1 sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1 :
cos 2 θ = 1 − ( 3 5 ) 2 = 1 − 9 25 = 16 25 \cos^2\theta = 1 - \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{9}{25} = \frac{16}{25} cos 2 θ = 1 − ( 5 3 ) 2 = 1 − 25 9 = 25 16
cos θ = 16 25 = 4 5 \cos\theta = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \frac{4}{5} cos θ = 25 16 = 5 4 (positive since acute).
Answer: 4 5 \frac{4}{5} 5 4
Teaching note: Acute angle → all trig ratios positive. Pythagorean identity is core.
