Question

Calculator What is the value of y in the triangle? Enter your answer in the box. Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth. ​

Answer 1

Answer: The value of y=116.28ft

Explanation:

tan x = opposite side/adjacent side

let x=26.5 degree

opposite side= y

adjacent side=24ft

Therefore,

tan(26.5) = y/24

y = tan(26.5) * 24

tan(26.5) = 4.8450

y = 4.8450*24

y = 116.28ft

Answer 2

Explanation:

Value of y can be found using the tan ratio of the angle.

tan 26.5 = opposite/adjacent

.49858161 = y/24

mulitply each side by 24

11.97 = y
