Step 1
Solytion-Given thet $$\triangle ABC$$ and $$\displaystyle\triangle{D}{E}{F}$$ avenight tnangle and $$\displaystyle\triangle{A}{B}{C}\approx\approx{D}{E}{F}$$
Now as we know
$$\displaystyle{\cos{\theta}}={\frac{{{B}{a}{s}{e}}}{{Hyotenuse}}}$$
2)$$\displaystyle{\cos{{B}}}={\frac{{{B}{C}}}{{{A}{B}}}}-{1}$$
Step 2
Now by similanty vation pvoperty we know
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{{A}{B}}}{{{D}{E}}}}={\frac{{{B}{C}}}{{{E}{F}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{E}{F}}}{{{D}{E}}}}={\frac{{{B}{C}}}{{{A}{B}}}}-{\left({2}\right)}$$
from (1)and (2)
$$\displaystyle{\cos{{B}}}={\frac{{{E}{F}}}{{{D}{E}}}}$$
