Find Y.
Round to the nearest tenth.
Y= ? Degrees

Answer:
Y = 59.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine rule in terms of x, y and z
cosY = [tex]\frac{x^2+z^2-y^2}{2xz}[/tex]
with x = 22, y = 20 and z = 18
cosY = [tex]\frac{22^2+18^2-20^2}{2(22)(18)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{484+324-400}{792}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{408}{792}[/tex], thus
Y = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{408}{792}[/tex] ) ≈ 59.0° ( to the nearest tenth )
