Answer:

y = 126.43

Explanation:

Essentially what you have is the Cosine(50)

Cos(50) = adjacent / hypotenuse

adjacent = 122

hypotenuse = ?? = y

Solve

Cos(50) = 122/y Multiply both sides by y

y*cos(50) = 122 Divide by cos(50)

y = 122 / cos(50) Find the value of cos(50)

y = 122 / 0.96497 Divide

y = 126.43
