Answer:


y = 9.1

Explanation:

y can be found using the Law of sines as explained below:

m < Y = 106°

m < X = 58°

WY = x = 8

WX = y = ?

Thus,


(x)/(sin(X)) = (y)/(sin(Y))


(8)/(sin(58)) = (y)/(sin(106))


(8)/(0.848) = (y)/(0.961)

Multiply both sides by 0.961 to solve for y


(8)/(0.848)*0.961 = (y)/(0.961)*0.961


(8*0.961)/(0.848) = y


(8*0.961)/(0.848)*0.961 = y


9.07 = y


y = 9.1 (to the nearest tenth)
