what is theCos B if SinB = 3/4 and Cos A = 1/3 and Sin A = 2 x sqrt 2 over 3?
The ratios for angle A are irrelevant. (there is no relationship mentioned between A and B)
SinB=3/4 (since it is positive, B must be in the 1st or second quadrant)
draw a right angled triangle.
Mark one of the accute angles B Let the opposite side be 3 unit and the hypotenuse be 4 units.
using pythagoras' theorum
adj side = sqrt(16-9)=sqrt(7)
CosB=sqrt(7)/4 (if B is in fist quad)
general answer
$$Cos(B)= \dfrac{\pm \sqrt7}{4}$$
