Answer:
y ≈ 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given right triangle we have to find the measure of unknown side 'y'.
Since, measure of opposite side and adjacent side of the angle measuring 74° have been given,
We will use tangent ratio for the given angle.
tan(74°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Measure of opposite side}}{\text{Measure of adjacent side}}[/tex]
tan(74°) = [tex]\frac{47}{y}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{47}{\text{tan}(74^{\circ})}[/tex]
y = 13.48
y ≈ 13.5 units
