Answer:
Initial number of trees were 204.
Step-by-step explanation:
555 must be a typo error. The question will not produce correct answer. I worked out with 55 but the answer is wrong. So, the number is 5.
Lets say MacDonald removed 5 orange trees from his farm.
Let t be the initial number of trees
After removing 5 trees, the remaining left are t-5 trees
As given - Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges for a total harvest of 41790 oranges. This means
Solving for t:
t = 204
So, initial number of trees were 204.
We can check this :

Working with 55 we get the wrong answer:
t = 144

Answer:
y = 6.22
You can solve this in two ways.
1.) Use SOH CAH TOA:
I typically start off by labeling the sides of the triangle with H (hypotenuse), O (opposite), and A (adjacent). Because I need to figure out what y is when given an angle and 4, I will use CAH, or cosine.
2.) Use Law of Sines:
Solve for the last angle inside the triangle first.
Then use the angle you found (40°) in the equation.
