Question

In the triangle below y=? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

y = 51.3°

Explanation:

To find y we use tan

tan∅ = opposite/ adjacent

From the question

8 is the adjacent

10 is the opposite

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

`\tan(y) = (10)/(8)`

`y = \tan^( - 1) ( (10)/(8) )`

y = 51.34019

We have the final answer as

y = 51.3 to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
