$cos (arctan (\frac{3}{5})) = \frac{5}{\sqrt{34}}$ $cos(arctan(3/5))=5/sqrt34$

Explanation:

Let $arctan (\frac{3}{5}) = θ$ $arctan(3/5)=theta$

Hence $tan θ = \frac{3}{5}$ $tantheta=3/5$

and $cos (arctan (\frac{3}{5})) = cos θ$ $cos(arctan(3/5))=costheta$

= $\frac{1}{sec θ}$ $1/sectheta$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{{sec}^{2} θ}}$ $1/sqrt(sec^2theta)$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + {tan}^{2} θ}}$ $1/sqrt(1+tan^2theta)$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + {(\frac{3}{5})}^{2}}}$ $1/sqrt(1+(3/5)^2)$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{9}{25}}}$ $1/sqrt(1+9/25)$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{34}{25}}}$ $1/sqrt(34/25)$

= $\sqrt{\frac{25}{34}}$ $sqrt(25/34)$

= $\frac{5}{\sqrt{34}}$ $5/sqrt34$
