Explanation:

The tangent function takes the length of the side opposite to the angle over the length of the side adjacent to the angle. In this example, the side opposite to the angle Y is length 2, and the adjacent side is 6, meaning tangent equals
(1)/(3). Jacinta's mistake was taking the adjacent over the opposite instead of the opposite over adjacent.
