Question

Find y. Give your answer in the simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

$3 \sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$tan \: 60 \degree = \frac{y}{3} \\ \\ y = 3tan \: 60 \degree \\ \\ y = 3 \sqrt{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 3$\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan30° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$  , then

tan30° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{3}{y}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ ( cross- multiply )

y = 3$\sqrt{3}$
