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:

Since the above figure is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find y

To find y we use tan

tan∅ = opposite/ adjacent

From the question

the opposite is y

the adjacent is 350 ft

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

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

y = 350 tan 27

y = 178.3339

We have the final answer as

y = 178.3 ft to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
