Answer:
NM = 17, LY = 5, m<NLY = 53.13 degrees, m<NMY = 28.07 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for NM, you just use the Pythagorean theorem,
[tex]8^{2} + 15^{2} = x^{2}[/tex]
64 + 225 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
289 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]17 = x[/tex]
To solve for LY, you can use geometric mean,
[tex]\frac{10}{y} = \frac{15+y}{10}\\\\100 = 15y + y^{2} \\y^{2} +15y - 100 = 0\\(y+20)(y-5) = 0\\y= 5[/tex]
To solve for the other angles, use the inverse.
Sin-1, = 8/10
= 53.13
Other angle =
Tan-1 = 8/15
= 28.07
Hope this helps, I put a lot of time into this :)
