Answer
With $\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{length of side adjacent to A}}{\text{length of hypotenuse}}$, and since the hypotenuse is longer than the two other sides of the triangle, then the value of $\cos{\theta}$ will always never be greater than 1.
Thus, it is impossible for $\cos{\theta} = 3$.
Work Step by Step
Definition II states that in a right triangle with acute angle A,
$\cos{A}=\dfrac{\text{length of side adjacent to A}}{\text{length of hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{b}{c},$
where
$c$ = length of hypotenuse
$b$ = length of side adjacent to angle A.
Since $c \gt b$, then the value of $\dfrac{b}{c}$ will always be less than $1$.
Thus, there will be no angle whose cosine value is greater than $1$.
