Question

Find y and round to the nearest tenth. thank you

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

31 degrees on the top would be equal to the angle in between x and 600ft, by the interior angles theorem.

That means we can solve for y using the trigonometric function of tangent.

`tan(31) = (y)/(600)`

Multiply by 600 to both sides, then use a calculator to solve.

600(tan(31)) = x

x = 360.5163714

x ≈ 360.5 is the answer.
