Answer:
y = 167°
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex of the triangle = 154° ( alternate angle to 154° )
The triangle has 2 equal legs so is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent
base angle = =
= 13°
base angle and y are adjacent angles, lie on straight line AB and sum to 180°
y + 13° = 180° ( subtract 13° from both sides )
y = 167°
Given:
A driver is below the surface of the water at - 15m. he dives down by 6m, then rises 4m.
To find:
The current location of the driver.
Solution:
In this problem, negative sign is used for downward direction or the distance below the surface of the water.
Initial location = -15 m
Dives down by 6m, it means - 6m, then rises 4m, it means 4 m.
Now, the current location is
Therefore, the correct location of the driver is at -17 m it means her is 17 m below the surface of the water.
