This equation is in standard form: ax 1+bx+c=0. Substitute 9 for a, 16 for b, and −112 for c in the quadratic formula 2a−b±b2−4ac.x= 2×9−16± 16^2−4×9(−112)Square 16.x=2×9−16±256−4×9(−112) Multiply −4 times 9.x=2×9−16± 256−36(−112) Multiply −36 times −112.x=2×9−16±256+4032 Add 256 to 4032.x=2×9−16±4288 Take the square root of 4288.x=2×9−16±8+67 Multiply 2 times 9x=18−16±8=67
The answer is 51.3 degrees because you add 90+38.7=128.7 then you do 180-128.7 because this is a linear/ supplementary triangle which adds up to 180 and you get 51.3 degrees
