Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given triangle is a right angle triangle .
The known sides of the triangle that is opposite to angle y is 8 units while the side adjacent is 10 units.
The value of y can be calculated using the tangent ratio.
We solve for y to get,
We evaluate to obtain,
to the nearest degree
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4/sin(80)
which is approximately 4.06
Discussion:
From the triangle, not drawn too accurately (see attachment)
sin(80) = side opposite /hypotenuse =>
sin (80) = 4/c => multiply both sides by "c"
c sin(80) = 4/c * c =>
c sin(80) = 4 => divide both sides by sin(80)
c = 4/sin(80)
and 4/sin(80) is approximately 4.06
Thank you,
MrB
