The bearing of Y from Z is 160°.

To calculate the bearing of Y from Z, you need to find the angle measured clockwise from the north direction to the line segment from Z to Y.

Given:

- The angle at X is 125°.

- The angle at Y is 105°.

The bearing is calculated from the north direction, going clockwise. The angle at X (125°) is the interior angle adjacent to the north, so the exterior angle, which is part of the bearing from Z to Y, is $$ 180° - 125° = 55° $$.

Now, to find the bearing of Y from Z, you add the exterior angle at X to the angle at Y:


$$ Bearing\ of\ Y\ from\ Z = 55° + 105° = 160°

Therefore, the bearing of Y from Z is 160°.

The bearing of Y from Z has been calculated as 160°.
