Answer:

tan(y) = 8/6

Explanation:

Tangent of measurement is the opposite side of focused measurement to the adjacent side of focused measurement.

In this problem, we are given with focused measurement of y; hence, tan(y).

Find the opposite side of focused measurement, the opposite side of measurement y is 8 ft.

Find the adjacent (the side that connects between right angle to the focused measurement) of focused measurement, the adjacent side of measurement y is 6 ft.

Since tan(y) = opposite of measurement y to adjacent of measurement y. Hence, tan(y) = 8/6
