Answer: y ≈ 10.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine function relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The side adjacent to the 20° angle is 10 cm.
cos(20°) = (10 cm)/y
y = (10 cm)/cos(20°)
y ≈ 10.6 cm

recall again, sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1.
I would say that statistics is a mathematical subject that allows you to explain scientific data. In a similar fashion, you could use mathematics to explain the various idea in physics as you can use statistics to interpret the results of experiments and the data collected.
Hope that helped!
