Answer:

32.38°

Explanation:

In AXYZ, X = 7.7 inches, y = 4.2 inches and z=7.3 inches. Find the measure of Y to

the nearest degree.

We solve using Cosine rule

Y = arc cos( x² + z² - y²/2xz)

x = 7.7 inches

z = 7.3 inches

y = 4.2 inches

Y = arc cos( 7.7² + 7.3² - 4.2²/2 × 7.7 × 7.3)

Y = 32.38°
