Question

Y=
Pls help solve for

Answer 1

`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
