Question

help me answer this trignometry question. the final answer is actually is 18.3 .but i get something else.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y ≈ 18.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin41° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{12}{y}$ ( multiply both sides by y )

y × sin41° = 12 ( divide both sides by sin41° )

y = $\frac{12}{sin41}$ ≈ 18.3 ( to 1 dec. place )
