Question

Anyone know what this might be? ​

Answer 1

y ≈ 13,9

Explanation:

Use trigonometry:

`\tan(60°) = (y)/(8)`

Cross-multiply to find y:

`y = 8 * \tan(60°) = 8 * √(3) = 8 √(3) ≈13.9`

Answer 2

y ≈ 13.9

Explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan60° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(y)/(8)` ( multiply both sides by 8 )

8 × tan60° = y , then

y ≈ 13.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
