Type an integer or a decimal. Round to seven decimal places if ​needed.)

Solution

The decimal approximation for cos(903.99)\cos(90^\circ - 3.99^\circ) is approximately 0.0695824, rounded to seven decimal places.

Do you need any further details or have any questions?
Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. What is the sine of 903.9990^\circ - 3.99^\circ?
  2. How does the identity cos(90θ)=sin(θ)\cos(90^\circ - \theta) = \sin(\theta) apply here?
  3. What is the cosine of 3.99 degrees directly?
  4. How would the value change for a different angle, say 10 degrees?
  5. What is the relationship between sine and cosine for complementary angles?

Tip: The co-function identity, cos(90θ)=sin(θ)\cos(90^\circ - \theta) = \sin(\theta), can simplify many trigonometric calculations.
