Answer:
35.6 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of ∆UVW can be solved if we know the lengths of 2 sides and their included angle.
We are Given just 1 side, UV (w). Use the law of sines to find UW (v).
Thus:
W = 137°
w = 19 yd
V = 180 - (137 + 22) = 21° => sum of triangle
v = ??
Plug in the values and solve for v
Multiply both sides by sin(21)
(approximated)
Find area of ∆UVW:
Area = ½*UV*UW*sin(U)
Area = ½*v*w*sin(U)
= ½*10*19*sin(22)
Area = 35.6 yd² (to nearest tenth)
Just "plug n chug" as my teacher would say. In other words, replace the letters with the values.
Choice A is (7,19) which means x = 7 and y = 19. Let's replace the x and y value with these numbers in both equations. If we get a true equation, then we found the answer.
2x-y = -5
2*7-19 = -5
14-19 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
So that works. Let's try the other equation
x+3y = 22
7+3*19 = 22
7+57 = 22
64 = 22 ... false
So choice A is NOT the answer because of this. Let's try out choice B
2x-y = -5
2*4-9 = -5
-1 = -5 ... false
so B doesn't work either. How about C?
2x-y = -5
2*8-21 = -5
-5 = -5 ... that works
x+3y = 22
8+3*21 = 22
71 = 22 ... but this is false
So D has to be the answer. Let's check to confirm or not
2x-y = -5
2*1-7 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
x+3y = 22
1+3*7 = 22
22 = 22 ... true
BOTH equations are true at the same time so (1,7) is definitely the final answer

I think the answer is 8, not sure though
