What is the exact value of cos(60 degrees)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 1/2
- Step 1: Use the special right triangles for 60 degrees.
- Step 2: cos(60 degrees) = 1/2.
Answer
1/2.
Why not the others: These are the exact values of other standard angle-function pairs; check which side ratio defines the function.
