Could somebody help me with this please?

1) x ≅ 51.34°

2) y ≅ 38.66°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle given in the figure

∵ The triangle has a right angle

∴ Angles x and y are acute angles and the sum of their measures is 90°

→ By using the trigonometry function tan

∵ tan(x) = opposite side to x/adjacent side to x

∵ The opposite side to x = 10

∵ The adjacent side to x = 8

→ Substitute them in the rule above

∴ tan(x) = =

→ Use the inverse of tan to find x

∵ x = ()

∴ x = 51.34019175

∴ x ≅ 51.34°

∵ x + y = 90°

∴ 51.34 + y = 90

→ Subtract 51.34 from both sides

∴ y ≅ 38.66°

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
