Question

I NEED HELP PLEASE!

Answer 1

Find the measure of angle y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (please type the numerical answer only)

Answer 2

use yout trig inverses

Answer 3

*your

Answer 4

what trig function uses only the legs of the triangle?

Answer 5

I'm not really sure. I think it's tangent.

Answer 6

tangent is correct

Answer 7

so, let define the tan(y) as 5/14

inverse the fuction to get: y=\(tan^{-1}(5/14)\)

Answer 8

Okay

Answer 9

Then what?

Answer 10

then you round the answer to the nearest hundredth as directed :/

Answer 11

Find the measure of angle y.

y = tan^(-1) (5/14)

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

after you it the equal sign on the calculator a bunch of numbers
come up .... you will want to round them as needed

Answer 12

I got 0.34

Answer 13

Well I got 0.34 after I rounded it. Is that correct?

Answer 14

Or is it 34.30 instead of 0.34?

Answer 15

@amistre64

Answer 16

keep in mind that inverse trig function give radian values as output

Answer 17

.34302.... is in radians,

19.65 is in degrees

Answer 18

.34 would seem to me to be the correct one, but if its wrong try the other one :)

Answer 19

hmmm on closer inspection; it is asking for \(y^o\), y degree, so 19.65 is looking to be the correct one

Answer 20

and just as a conversion since calculator tend to give radians:

radian * 180/pi, converts radians to degrees

Answer 21

Thank you so much for helping!

Answer 22

youre welcome, good luck
