Trigonometry

A, B & C form the vertices of a triangle.

CAB = 90°,

ABC = 66° and AB = 9.5.
Calculate the length of AC rounded to 3 SF.

Knowing angle CAB is 90 degrees you can infer that this is a right angled triangle

So what u should do is draw out the outline of a right angle triangle and then use the information to fill out the sides e.g. label AB as 9.5 units and the angle ABC as 66 degrees.

Now u can use SOH CAH TOA to find the length of AC

Hope this is clear, if your still struggling with it I can draw out the triangle for u
