The correct answer is:
measurement of one angle and length of one side
Answer: y = 57°
Explanation: 180-114 = 66°
A triangle has a total of 180° so 180-66 = 114
114 / 2 = 57° (because angles y and y have the same value)

Answer: The TV is 48 inches wide.
Step-by-step explanation: To find the solution to this equation we must use the Pythagorean theorem. The Py. Theo. is basically the formula :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You say this as "A squared plus b squared equals c squared"
To use this formula you must plug in the given values of a and b, to find c. A and b represent the two bases of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. In this equation we already have the value of c and a. We need to find b, but in order to do that we use a different formula. We use : c^2 - a^2 = b^2
See :
52^2 - 20^2 = b^2 *The ^2 means "to the power of" aka an exponent*
2704 - 400 = b^2 *When dealing with ^2, all you do is multiply the number by itself*
2304 = b^2 *Next, we find the square root of our current number.*
48 = b
*Another way to solve this equation is to memorize all the Pythagorean Triples. With that knowledge, you wont even need to use the formula because you will already know all three values. I hope this helped you understand :)
