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

SOHCAHTOA

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.
