So you know that 3^4 is your numerator and that is (4)(4)(4)(4)=81
3^2 is your denominator and that is (3)(3)=9
81/9
=9
Angle V is 40. Angle V and Y are congruent. The angles of a triangle are a sum of 180. Angle V and Angle Y add up to 80. Therefore angle VWZ is 100
Y=8
your teacher is introducing algebra
