Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

By bisector theorem: the relative lengths of the two segments that a triangle's side is divided into by a line that bisects the opposite angle. It equates their relative lengths to the relative lengths of the other two sides of the triangle

y/8 = 8/2

y = 32 .... sum of the length of 2 sides of triangle must be larger than the 3rd side, 8+2+8 = 18 < 32

y can only has a value < 18

If we use Law of Sines also get y = 32 ... not forming a triangle
