Question

Trigonometry question! find y. round to the nearest tenth!​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 242.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use sine:

$sine=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

We have a measure of the angle and length of the hypotenuse:

$\alpha=29^o,\ hypotenuse=500\ ft$

$\sin29^o\approx0.48481$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{y}{500}=0.48481$              multiply both sides by 500

$y=242.405\to y\approx242.4$
