Answer:


y = 9.1

Explanation:

Use the Law of sines to find y in ∆WXY, given:

m < Y = 106°

m < X = 58°

WY = x = 8

WX = y = ?

Therefore,


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


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


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


(y)/(0.961) = 9.434

Multiply both sides by 0.961 to solve for y


(y*0.961)/(0.961) = 9.434*0.961


y = 9.434*0.961


y = 9.1 (to nearest tenth)
