Proponents of the alkaline diet suggest that a diet high in acid-producing foods disrupts the blood's normal pH level and, in turn, triggers the loss of essential minerals (such as calcium) as the body attempts to restore equilibrium. This imbalance is said to increase susceptibility to illness.
The law of cosines is useful for computing the third side of a triangle when two sides and their enclosed angle are known, and in computing the angles of a triangle if all three sides are known.
The cosine of that angle is the length of the triangle leg adjacent to that angle, divided by the length of the hypotenuse. Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse. Is what follows to hypotenuse, either side or angle, catetus or angle comprehended (different from the 90 degrees angle).
