Find Y.
Round to the nearest tenth.
Z
8 ft
17 ft
Х
Y
16 ft
Y= [?]°

Y = 27.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Law of Cosines which is given as c² = a² + b² - 2ab*Cos C

Where,

c = 8

a = 17

b = 16

C = Y

Plug in the values

8² = 17² + 16² - 2*17*16*Cos Y

64 = 545 - 544*Cos Y

64 - 545 = -544*Cos Y

-481 = -544*Cos Y

Divide both sides by -544

-481/-544 = Cos Y

0.884191176 = Cos Y

Y = cos^{-1}(0.884191176)

Y = 27.8478491° ≈ 27.8° (nearest tenth)
