y = 218.2. The lenght of side y by trigonometry is 218.2.
In order to solve this problem we are going to use the angles and sides of a right triangle and its relation by expressions that we call trigonometric ratios.
In the image we can see that the lenght of the opposite leg is 141 , we do not know the lenght of the adjacent leg y and the hypotenuse x. The key to solve this problem is to use trigonometric ratios and the equation tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = opposite leg/adyacent leg = 141/y
Clear for y for the equation tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = 141/y, we obtain:
y = arctan θ (141)
y = arctan (43°)(141) = 218.2
