Answer:

XY = 8 and YZ = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

If XY and YZ are on the one line, we can write

XY + YZ = 28

(2x+2) + (9x - 7) = 28

2x+2 + 9x - 7 = 28

11x - 5 = 28

11x = 33

x = 3

XY = 2x+2 = 2*3 + 2 = 8

YZ = 9x - 7 = 9*3 - 7 = 27 - 7 = 20

Answer:

19.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of sines.

sin(90)/6 = sin(x)/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * sin(90)/6 = sin(x)

Use a calculator

0.33333 = sin(x)

sin^-1 0.3333 = 19.47

Find a of this angle.

Mice21 [21]

In a triangle, the total angle is 180 degrees. A straight line is always 180 degrees. With this in mind, the following can be obtained:

$a + 2x + {57}^{o} = {180}^{o} \\ 5x + a = {180}^{o}$

These are simultaneous equations.

$a + 2x + {57}^{o} = 5x + a \\ 3x = {57}^{o} \\ x = {19}^{o} \\ 5x + a = {180}^{o} \\ 5( {19}^{o} ) + a = {180}^{o} \\ a = {85}^{o}$
