Find y.
Round to the nearest tenth:
31°
y
X
400 ft
y = [? ]ft

Answer:
y = 240.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trigonometric ratio to find y:
Thus,
Reference angle = 90° - 31° = 59°
Opposite = 400 ft
Adjacent = y
Therefore:
Tan 59° = 400/y
Multiply both sides by y
y*tan 59 = 400
Divide both sides by tan 59
y = 400/tan 59
y = 240.3 ft (to the nearest tenth)
