Answer: Y = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + y = -27
-17 + y = -27
+17 +17
Y = -10
You can also check your work by plugging in the X and Y values and it should equal -27 . So -17 + -10 equals -27.
Let's apply the Law of Cosines here. We want the measure of the angle opposite the side with length 16.
Call that angle C.
Then 16^2 = 36^2 + 28^2 - 2(36)(28)cos C.
Solving for C: cos C = 16^2 - 36^2 - 28^2
------------------------- = 0.904, and C = 0.44 rad
-2(28)(36) or C = 25.21 degrees
So each of the 2 equal angles shown has the measure 25.21 degrees.
Unfortunately, I don't know the direction we should go from this point on.
X is 25 beceause 25-10=15
I would represent that with a line graph.
