Question

Find the value of Y

Answer 1

so first you need to find the length of the vertical line, which you can find using sin(30) - l/8 where l is the length of that line. Then you can find the length of y. Also, is y just the section on the left triangle or the line segment of both triangles?

Answer 2

just the section on the left

Answer 3

also i meant to say sin(30) = l/8, not "-"

Answer 4

ok, so once you have the length of the vertical line I am calling "l", you can use the tangent and the known angle in the left triangle to solve for y in the same way

Answer 5

so the answer is?

Answer 6

sin(30) = l/8 ----> l=4

tan(60) = 4/y -----> y=2.3094
