Answer:

x = 49.8^\circ\\y = 54.6^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly refer to the image attached in the answer region for labeling of triangle.

<em>AB </em><em>= 16 </em>

<em>BC </em><em>= 19</em>

<em>AC </em><em>= 15 </em>

\angle ABC = x^\circ\\\angle ACB = y^\circ

We have to find the <em>angles </em><em>x</em> and <em>y</em> i.e. \angle B \text{ and }\angle C.

Formula for <em>cosine rule</em>:

cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac}

Where  

<em>a</em> is the side opposite to \angle A,

<em>b</em> is the side opposite to \angle B  and

<em>c</em> is the side opposite to \angle C.

\Rightarrow cos x = \dfrac{19^{2}+16^{2}-15^{2}}{2 \times 19 \times 16}\\\Rightarrow cos x = \dfrac{392}{608} \\\Rightarrow x = 49.8^\circ

Similarly, for finding the value of <em>y:</em>

cos C = \dfrac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}\\\Rightarrow cos y = \dfrac{19^{2}+15^{2}-16^{2}}{2  \times 19 \times 15}\\\Rightarrow cos y = \dfrac{330}{570}\\\Rightarrow y = 54.6^\circ

Hence, the values are:

x = 49.8^\circ\\y = 54.6^\circ

Given: PRST square
yuradex [85]
There is no difficulty in this problem until you construct the figures. How can we do it is shown in the attached picture. After drawing PRST, from the point P, we can draw PMKD and later we can complete PMCT as a result. From this picture, we can see that the side of PMCT is also a. Then, the area of this square is A=a^{2}

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line given the slope and y-intercept
amid [387]
The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...
  y = (Slope)x + (y-intercept)

Put the given information in the appropriate spot in the equation. Simplify as required.
  y = (-1/3)x + 0
can be simplified to

y = (-1/3)x

8 points and brainliest answer if you get it right
MissTica
Y= 17 would be the answer.

For something to be a function, it needs an input (x) and an output (y).

There is no x is this answer.

I hope this helps!
