Answer:
[tex] y = 3 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the above right angled triangle, we would use a trigonometric ratio formula to find y.
Given angle = 30°
Hypotenuse = 6
Opposite side = y
Solve for y using the trigonometric ratio formula as follows:
[tex] sin(X) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} [/tex]
[tex] sin(30) = \frac{y}{6} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by 6
[tex] sin(30)*6 = \frac{y}{6}*6 [/tex]
[tex] 0.5*6 = y [/tex]
[tex] 3 = y [/tex]
[tex] y = 3 [/tex]
