5.6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 17 by 3

9514 1404 393

  51.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides of a right triangle.

Here, you're given the side opposite angle y and the side adjacent to it. This suggests that the TOA relationship is most useful:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(y) = (10 cm)/(8 cm) = 1.25

Then the angle is found from the inverse tangent function:

  y = arctan(1.25)

  y ≈ 51.3°
