Question

Find y................

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above right angled triangle, we would use a trigonometric ratio formula to find y.

Given angle = 30°

Hypotenuse = 6

Opposite side = y

Solve for y using the trigonometric ratio formula as follows:

$sin(X) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(30) = \frac{y}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$sin(30)*6 = \frac{y}{6}*6$

$0.5*6 = y$

$3 = y$

$y = 3$
