To find the cosine of an angle, you divide the adjacent side of the triangle by the hypotenuse. A helpful hint for the trig functions of sin, cos, and tan is SOH CAH TOA. It's a helpful way to remember what to do. For Sine you divide the opposite side by the hypotenuse. In Tangent, you divide the opposite side by the adjacent side.
