Answer 2

Answer:

Value of y=8.66

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the length of base of right angled triangle and one angle.

We have to find the length of the perpendicular.

We will find this by using the formula:

$tan\theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tan60\°=\dfrac{y}{5}$

√3=y/5

y=5√3

y=8.66

Hence, value of y=8.66
