Question

Find the measure of angle y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (please type the numerical answer only) A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 8 and the hypotenuse is labeled 13. An angle made with the leg measuring 8 and the hypotenuse is marked y degrees.

Answer 1

Answer:

52.02

Step-by-step explanation:

52.02 was the correct answer on the flvs test I just took

Answer 2

For this case we have the following trigonometric relationship:
 cos (y) = 8/13
 Clearing the value of and we have:
 y = Acos (8/13)
 Calculating the angle we have:
 y = 52.02012756 degrees
 Rounding off we have:
 y = 52.02 degrees
 Answer:
 the measure of angle and is:
 y = 52.02 degrees
