Answer:
y = 1.9 units (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that for a right triangle with angle θ
tan θ = opposite length / adjacent length
in our case we are given the following:
θ = 15 deg
opposite length = y
adjacent length = 7
substituting these into the equation:
tan θ = opposite length / adjacent length
tan 15 = y / 7
y = 7 tan 15
y = 1.8756
y = 1.9 units (nearest tenth)
