Answer:
∠ WUV = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
∠ VWX is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus
8x - 18 = 2x + 8 + 3x + 16
8x - 18 = 5x + 24 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
3x - 18 = 24 ( add 18 to both sides )
3x = 42 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 14
Thus
∠ WUV = 2x + 8 = 2(14) + 8 = 28 + 8 = 36°
From the reference of the 18 degree angle, 'h' is the opposite side and 100 is the adjacent side.
The trig ratio which uses both the opposite and adjacent sides is the tangent.
tan(18) = opp/adj = h/100
Trig equation:
tan(18) = h/100
