Find the measure of angle y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Right triangle
1 answer:
<h3>The measure of angle y is 35.68 degrees</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
hypotenuse 12
Opposite 7
Find the measure of angle y
y is unknown and is between the hypotenuse and adjacent side
The figure is attached below
In a right triangle, the sine of the angle is the ratio of the side opposite to the angle to the hypotenuse
Therefore,
Thus measure of angle y is 35.68 degrees
