Question

Find the measure of angle y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (please type the numerical answer only) (6 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

35.68°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the triangle is shown.

From sine definition:

sin(y) = opposite/hypotenuse

The leg measuring 7 units is opposite to angle y, and the hypotenuse measures 12 units, therefore:

sin(y) = 7/12

y = arcsin(7/12)

y = 35.68°
