To find the measure of the acute angle \( y \) related to a \( 290^\circ \) angle, we first recognize that an acute angle is one that measures less than \( 90^\circ \).
To find \( y \), we can subtract \( 290^\circ \) from \( 360^\circ \) since angles are typically measured within a \( 0^\circ \) to \( 360^\circ \) range.
Here's the calculation:
1. Calculate the reference angle:
\[
360^\circ - 290^\circ = 70^\circ
\]
Thus, the angle \( y \) is:
\[
y = 70^\circ
\]
Therefore, the measure of the acute angle \( y \) is \( \boxed{70^\circ} \).
