Answer:

The COS ratio of angle x:

cos x = 8/17

Answer:

8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cosine ratio of angle 'x' in the right triangle, we use the definition of cosine, which is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

In this triangle:

  • The length of the adjacent side to angle 'x' is 8
  • The length of the hypotenuse is 17

The cosine ratio of angle 'x' is given by:

[tex]\cos(x)=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent Side}}{\text{Hypotenuse Side}}=\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}[/tex]

Thus, the ratio is 8/17.
