First off, let's notice that the angle is in the IV Quadrant, where sine is negative and the cosine is positive, likewise the opposite and adjacent angles respectively.
Also let's bear in mind that the hypotenuse is never negative, since it's simply just a radius unit.

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
All of these questions use the external angle theorem, that is
The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
18
∠3 = 43° + 22° = 65°
19
∠2 + 71 = 92 ( subtract 71 from both sides )
∠2 = 21°
20
90 + ∠4 = 123 ( subtract 90 from both sides )
∠4 = 33°
21
2x - 15 + x - 5 = 148
3x - 20 = 148 ( add 20 to both sides )
3x = 168 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 56
Hence ∠ABC = x - 5 = 56 - 5 = 51°
22
2x + 27 + 2x - 11 = 100
4x + 16 = 100 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
4x = 84 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 21
Hence ∠JKL = 2x - 11 = (2 × 21) - 11 = 42 - 11 = 31°
Your answer is d Its on the fourth quadrant! that Is really easy!
