Given:
angle of 6 : i'm assuming this is 6 degrees.
distance of 5 miles.

tan(6) = rise/5 mi
rise = 5 mi * tan(6)
rise = 5 mi * 0.10510423526
rise = 0.52552117632

rise = 0.53 miles.

Using the Pythagorean theorem we get:

y^2+8^2=12^2.

Simplifying the above result we get:

y^2+64=144.

Subtracting 64 from the above equation we get:

\begin{gathered} y^2+64-64=144-64, \\ y^2=80. \end{gathered}

Therefore:

y=\sqrt{80}\approx8.9.

Answer:

y=8.9.
