Solution

sin θ = `11/61`  ...[Given]

We have,

sin2θ + cos2θ = 1

⇒ cos2θ = 1 − sin2θ

⇒ cos2θ = `1 - (11/61)^2`

⇒ cos2θ = `1 - 121/3721`

⇒ cos2θ = `(3721 - 121)/3721`

⇒ cos2θ = `3600/3721`

⇒ cos θ = `sqrt((60/61)^2)`    ...[Taking the square root of both sides]

⇒ cos θ = `60/61`

Thus, the value of cos θ is `60/61`.
