ANSWER


\cos(y) = (4)/(5)

EXPLANATION

From the mnemonics SOH-CAH-TOA.

We want to find the cosine of y

CAH means cosine ratio involves adjacent over the hypotenuse.


\cos(y) = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse)

From the right by triangle, the side ajacent to angle y is 64 units and the hypotenuse is 80 units.


\cos(y) = (64)/(80)


\cos(y) = (4)/(5)
