Answer:
17.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given we have one side and one degree, we can use the trigonometric function "tangent" to solve this right triangle.
Remember that <u>tangent is opposite side over adjacent side</u>, so lets set up the equation:

Now solve:

<u>As a result, x is equal to approximately 17.1</u>

Answer:
x =
and y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Known that he sum of angles on a straight line is
. From the diagram;
2y + x + y = 
x + 3y =
................ 1
Also,
2x + x + 2y = 
3x + 2y =
.............. 2
Using the elimination method, multiply equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 1
3x + 9y = 540 ............ 3
3x + 2y =
............. 4
7y = 360
y = 
y = 
substitute the value of y in equation 1,
x + 3y = 
x + 3(51.4) = 
x + 154.2 = 
x =
- 154.2
x = 
Thus, x =
and y = 
I think it is the second one. You did the lesson, what do you think? What is the reason you chose the third one?
