Answer:
(c) 52.0
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle whose cosine is 8/13 is found using the inverse cosine function:
y° = arccos(8/13) ≈ 52.0°
y ≈ 52.0

The calculator button to compute this value is probably labeled cos⁻¹. You may need to access the function using a Shift or 2nd key. The calculator must be set to degrees mode to prevent the answer from appearing in radians or grads. If you use a spreadsheet, your formula may look like ...
=DEGREES(ARCCOS(8/13))
