Answer 1

is this trig ?
do you know SOH CAH TOA ?

Answer 2

It's probably apart of it. I'm in Geometry and I do a little bit, yes.

Answer 3

\[\Large \tan = {opposite \over adjacent}\]

Answer 4

\[\tan y = \frac 5 {14}\]

Answer 5

\[\Large y = \tan^{-1} \left( 5\over14 \right)\] use your calculator in degree mode...

Answer 9

You can practice on your calculator.

then look for the \( \tan^{-1}\) button.
You probably have to use "select" and then the inverse tan (see figure)
next press 1
and then =
the answer should be 45 degrees

if you can get that to work, try
to find the inverse tan of (5/14)
