We know that :

\spadesuit  Cos\theta = \frac{Adjacent Side}{Hypotenuse}

Here Adjacent Side is BC, which is Distance between the Sun and Earth

Hypotenuse is CA, which is Distance between the Sun and Shooting star

⇒ Cosx = \frac{BC}{CA}

Given : Distance between Earth and Sun (BC) = y

⇒ Cosx = \frac{y}{Distance\;between\;the\;Sun\;and\;Shooting\;Star}

⇒ Distance\;between\;the\;Sun\;and\;Shooting\;Star = \frac{y}{Cosx}
