$\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$1$

Two acute angles in a right triangle are $A$ and $B$ . What must be true about $A + B$ ?

$A + B = 180\degree$

$A + B = 90\degree$

$A + B = 45\degree$

$A + B = 360\degree$

In a right triangle, the right angle is at vertex $C$ . The two acute angles are $A$ and $B$ , where $B = 90\degree - A$ .
The side opposite $A$ has length 3 and the hypotenuse has length 5.

What is $\cos(B)$ ?

$\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\dfrac{3}{4}$

$\dfrac{5}{3}$
