A trick to solve these kind of problems would be...

Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippy Tripping On Acid
Aka
Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Then your answer to find Sin Z...
You're looking for an angle measurement so you're going to use an inverse operation.
You'd do...
Sin = 24/40
24/40 = .6
Then you'd use your inverse so...
Z°= Sin^-1(.6)
Z = 36.8698°
Rounding
Z = 36.870°
If you're using a scientific calculator. Make sure to put your calculator in degree mode to find the angle measurements and in radians to find missing side lengths.
