Question

What is the value of y?
Please enter your answer, as an exact value

Answer 1

Answer: 8.66

So to Solve this we are going to be using Tangent.

Tangent: opposite/adjacent

Tan60 = y/5

Tan60 * 5 = y/5 *5

Tan60 * 5 = y

8.66 = y

Answer 2

tan (60) = y/ 5
y = tan(60) * 5
and you know tan(60) = √3
so
y = 5√3

answer
5√3 (exact value)
