Answer:

9.5 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the cosine function equation.

cos(38) = [tex]\frac{y}{12}[/tex]

Multiply 12 on both sides.

12cos(38) = y

Solve.

Answer:

9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the adjacent side of the given 38 degree angle. You are given the hypotenuse of right angle triangle. So the trig function that you need to use is the Cosine

Cos(38) = y / 12

multiply both sides by 12

12*cos(38) = 12*y/12

12*cos(38) = y

12*0.7880= y

y =9.456
