Question

What is the value of y in the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

• From trigonometric ratios:

${ \rm{ \sin( \theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} }}$

→ theta is 41°

→ opposite is y

→ hypotenuse is 26 ft

${ \tt{ \sin(41) = \frac{y}{26} }} \\ \\ { \tt{y = 26 \sin(41) }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: y = 17.06 \: \: ft}}}$
