To solve for the value of
, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. Given the angles in the triangle are (3y+13)°, (5x-3)°, and (2y+2)°, we can set up an equation to find
.Step 1: Write the equation for the sum of the angles in the triangle.(3y + 13)° + (5x - 3)° + (2y + 2)° = 180°Since we are only solving for
in Exercise 4, we can ignore the (5x - 3)° term for now.Step 2: Combine like terms.(3y + 2y) + (13 + 2) = 1805y + 15 = 180Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.5y = 180 - 155y = 165Step 4: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for
.y = 165 / 5y = 33Answer for Exercise 4:The value of
is 33.Now, let's find the measure of each angle in the Summer Triangle using the values of
and
. However, we do not have the value of
, and it is not necessary to find the angles as we can express them in terms of
alone.Step 5: Substitute
into the expressions for each angle.First angle: (3y + 13)° = (3*33 + 13)° = 99 + 13 = 112°Second angle: (5x - 3)° - We cannot solve for this angle without the value of
.Third angle: (2y + 2)° = (2*33 + 2)° = 66 + 2 = 68°Answer for Exercise 5:The measure of the first angle is 112°, and the measure of the third angle is 68°. We cannot determine the measure of the second angle without the value of
