Answer:

Explanation:

The perpendicular is equal to 6. That's because the left triangle's missing angle is 180 - 45 -90 = 45

The angle in the right triangle is given as 52.

The cos(52) = adjacent side (which we just found to be 6) / y

Multiply both sides by y

y cos(52) = 6

cos(52) = 0.6157

Divide by sides by cos(52)

y = 6 / cos(52)

y = 6 / 0.6157

y = 9.76
