We know that
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅
adjacent side angle ∅=opposite side angle/tan ∅

in this problem
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
angle ∅=80°
opposite side angle ∅=12 ft  (AB)
adjacent side angle ∅=? (AC)
adjacent side angle ∅=12/tan 80°------> 2.12 ft

the answer is
2.12 ft

So its 12 divided by 1/5 so 
12 x 1= 12
1 x 5= 5

That is 12 over 5 and u will divide the numerator by the denominator to get 2.4 
Dont know if thts exactly right bcuz its been a while since i learned this but i hope it helps
