  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°

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)

the correct answer is the second option
