Answer:

Explanation:

y = √24²+32² = √1600 = 40

find base angle Ф on the right:

Ф = sin⁻¹(32/40) = 53.13

find other base angle (sum of interior angles of a Δ is 180):

180 - 90 - 53.13 = 36.87

now you can use the Law of Sines to find z, x:

40/sin36.87 = z/sin53.13 = (x+24)/sin90

z = 40(sin53.13)/sin36.87 = 53.33

sin36.87(x+24) = 40(sin90)

x+24 = 40/sin36.87 = 66.66

x = 66.67 - 24 = 42.67

double check the answers:

y² + z² = (x+24)²

40² + 53.33² = (42.67 + 24)²

1600 + 2892 = 4444

4444 = 4444 answers are correct!
