Answer:
9/41
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall what the ratio of cos(x) is in relation to the angle's location on the right triangle: [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex].
We can draw the given triangle and identify which side length is adjacent to angle L (see attached image). We can see that side length 9 or LM is adjacent to angle L, and just by glancing at the right triangle, side length 41 or LK is the hypotenuse. So, [tex]cos(L)=\frac{9}{41}[/tex].
