just confirming. just took the test

Answer 2

We are given with a diagram of a Triangle. The triangle is a right angled triangle with Hypoteneous 15ft, angle 26.5 degree and the opposite side is y.

we have been asked to find the the value of y from the given diagram.

For the given Triangle we can write

`Sin \theta =(Opposite)/(Hypotaneous)\\`

Substitute the given values we get

`Sin 26.5 =(y)/(15)\\`

Simplify we get

`y =15* Sin 26.5\\`

`y =15* 0.44619\\`

`y =6.69285\\`

`y \approx 6.69\\` ft
