Answer 3

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

Answer 4

tan y = 5/14


y is the angle whose tangent is 5/14

Answer 5

@welshfella thanks i was using the cotagent ratio but i dot know what to do after that

Answer 6

there is no need to use the cotangent
tan = opposite / adjacent = 5/14

Answer 7

cotagent is the same think tho, just the reciprocal
cot= adj/opp

Answer 8

yes cot = 1 / tan

Answer 9

so what do i do after tan(y)= 5/14 ?

Answer 10

well use your calculator to find angle whose tan = 5/14

5 divided by 14 = 0.3571

so enter tan-1 0.3571 and press exe

Answer 11

one sec

Answer 12

- though some calculators requre differnt order

Answer 13

well 5/14 is 0.35714..
@welshfella whats the next step?

Answer 14

on ur calculator enter tan-1 0.35714 then press exe

Answer 15

0.33822
so would it be 0.34?

Answer 16

@welshfella thanks for helping :)
