The state of stress in a deformable body is shown in the figure. Consider transformation of the stress from the x - y coordinate system to the X - Y coordinate system. The angle θ , locating the X - axis is assumed to be positive when measured from the X - axis in counter - clockwise direction.

The absolute magnitude of the shear stress component σ_xy (in MPa, round off to one decimal place) in x - y coordinate system is ______.
