I don't have enough information to compute cos ∠P. Could you confirm the diagram or which segments the numbers 8 and 29 refer to (for example, PN = 8 and PO = 29, or OP = 8 and NO = 29, etc.) and give any missing side lengths or whether the triangle is right-angled?
If you want the general way to get cos ∠P in triangle NOP:
- If it's a right triangle with right angle at, say, N or O, say which one; then cos ∠P = (length of the adjacent leg to P) / (length of the hypotenuse).
- In the general (non‑right) case use the Law of Cosines:
cos ∠P = (PN^2 + PO^2 − NO^2) / (2 · PN · PO).
Give the side lengths (or the diagram) and I will compute the fraction in simplest terms.
