ANSWER: ∠T = 32.4°

Remember the formula for the basic trig functions: SOH CAH TOA

Since you want to find cosine for <T, you need the adjacent side length as well as the hypotenuse's length which can be found using the Pythagoras's Theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2 with a and b being the side lengths and c being the hypotenuse.

Using the theorem, we get c=37

Now use the cosine formula to get <T = 12/37 to get the final answer.
