Question

Solve for y to nearest 10th​

Answer 1

Answer:

93.7

Step-by-step explanation:

You use SOH CAH TOA to solve this.

you have the angle and the hypotenuse, and you are solving for y, which is the side adjacent to the angle.

So, for this problem, you would use CAH, aka cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse.

Plug in the values, and you get cos(17) = $\frac{y}{98}$

Multiply both sides by 98, and you get 93.7

PS: make sure your calculator is in degree mode when you do this, otherwise you will get the wrong answer.
