    D. 36 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The description of the triangle is:

    triangle XYW in which angle W is a right angle, angle X measure f degrees, and angle Y measures d degrees

    Therefore, side XY is adjacent to f and side XY is the hypotenuse

    From definition:

    cos (f) = adjacent/hypotenuse

    Replacing:

    cos (f) = XW/XY

    4/9 = 16/XY

    XY = 16*9/4

    XY = 36 units
