Answer:

$y=39\degree$

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle .

The known sides of the triangle that is opposite to angle y is 8 units while the side adjacent is 10 units.

The value of y can be calculated using the tangent ratio.

$\tan(y)=(8)/(10)$

We solve for y to get,

y=arctan((4)/(5))

We evaluate to obtain,

y=38.66

$y=39\degree$ to the nearest degree
