Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

first find angle E.

remember, all angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

E = 180 - 90 - 20 = 70 degrees

now we use the law of sines.

ED/sin(20) = DC/sin(70) = EC/sin(D)

EC = x

sin(D) = sin(90) = 1

24/sin(70) = x/1 = x

x = 25.5

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180
