Check the picture below.
now, notice, for the angle hAC, the hypotenuse is hA, and the adjacent side is CA, therefore,
![\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\qquad cos(hAC)=\cfrac{5}{hA}\implies hA=\cfrac{5}{cos(hAC)} \\\\\\ hA=\cfrac{5}{cos\left[ \frac{cos^{-1}\left( \frac{5}{13} \right)}{2} \right]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20cos%28%5Ctheta%29%3D%5Ccfrac%7Badjacent%7D%7Bhypotenuse%7D%5Cqquad%20cos%28hAC%29%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7BhA%7D%5Cimplies%20hA%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7Bcos%28hAC%29%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0AhA%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7Bcos%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cfrac%7Bcos%5E%7B-1%7D%5Cleft%28%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B13%7D%20%5Cright%29%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%7D)
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, if you need the angle in degrees.
