Question

NEED HELP ASAP!! Angles of Elevation and Despression! Need to find y! Round to the nearest tenth!!

Answer 1

`y = 178.3 ft`

Explanation:

y is opposite to the reference angle, 27°.

350 ft is adjacent to the reference angle, therefore:

`tan(27) = (y)/(350)`

Multiply both sides by 350

`tan(27)*350 = (y)/(350)*350`

`tan(27)*350 = y`

`178.3 = y` (to nearest tenth)

`y = 178.3 ft`
