Note: You missed to add some of the details of the question.

Hence, I am solving your concept based on an assumed graph which I have attached. It would anyways clear your concept.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Given the right angled-triangle ABC as shown in the attached diagram

From the triangle:

Ф= ∠C = 30°

AB = 6 units

BC = y

tan Ф = opp ÷ adjacent

The opposite of ∠C = 30° is the length '6'.

The adjacent of ∠C = 30° is the length 'y'.

As Ф= ∠C = 30°

so

tan Ф = opp ÷ adjacent

tan 30 = 5 ÷ y

1 ÷ √3 = 5 ÷ y

y = 8.7 units

Therefore, the length of the unknown side length 'y' is 8.7 units.
