Answer:

the unknown side is 12, and the angle y is 67.4°

Explanation:

this is a right triangle with side 5 and hypotenuse 13. By the Pythagorean Theorem, 13² = 5² + opp², where "opp" is the side opposite Angle y.

Then 169 = 25 + opp² and so opp = √144 = 12.

Now to find the angle y:

5

cos y = ------ = 1.176 radians

13

Converting 1.176 radians to degrees, we get

1.176 180°

------- * ---------- = 67.4°
