There are two choices for angle Y: for
,
for
.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is now described:
<em>In triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49°, XY = 18 and YZ = 14. Find the measure of angle Y:</em>
The line segment XY is opposite to angle Z and the line segment YZ is opposite to angle X. We can determine the length of the line segment XZ by the Law of Cosine:
(1)
If we know that ,
and
, then we have the following second order polynomial:
(2)
By the Quadratic Formula we have the following result:
There are two possible triangles, we can determine the value of angle Y for each by the Law of Cosine again:
1)
2)
There are two choices for angle Y: for
,
for
