Answer:
y = 6[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
cos45° = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] , then
cos45° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{y}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
y = 6[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
