Answer:

4.50\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

cos(A)=\frac{AC}{AB} -----> the cosine is the adjacent side to angle A divided by the hypotenuse

substitute the values and solve for x

cos(68\°)=\frac{x}{12}

x=12*cos(68\°)=4.50\ ft
