To find the value of \(\cos K\) given the triangle with sides \(I\), \(J\), and \(K\) where the lengths are \(I = 24\) and \(J = 7\), we need to use the Law of Cosines:
\[
\cos K = \frac{I^2 + J^2 - K^2}{2IJ}
\]
However, we aren't given the length of side \(K\). Assuming you have the length of \(K\), you can substitute the values into the formula. Let's assume \(K\) is the side opposite the angle \(K\).
For an example, let's say \(K = 25\) (you'll need to adjust this based on the problem you're solving).
Using the values:
- \(I = 24\)
- \(J = 7\)
- \(K = 25\)
We can now compute:
\[
\cos K = \frac{24^2 + 7^2 - 25^2}{2 \cdot 24 \cdot 7}
\]
Calculating the squares:
\[
24^2 = 576
\]
\[
7^2 = 49
\]
\[
25^2 = 625
\]
Now substituting these values:
\[
\cos K = \frac{576 + 49 - 625}{2 \cdot 24 \cdot 7}
\]
Simplifying the numerator:
\[
576 + 49 - 625 = 0
\]
So we have:
\[
\cos K = \frac{0}{2 \cdot 24 \cdot 7} = 0
\]
Thus,
\[
\cos K = 0
\]
To round to the nearest hundredth, it is still \(0.00\).
If you have a different length for \(K\), adjust accordingly using the Law of Cosines. If you provide the correct length for \(K\), I can help you with the exact calculation!
