Answer:

x = 1

y = 1.7

z = 60⁰

work:

z = 60 because the three angles add to 180⁰ and 180⁰ - 90⁰ - 30⁰ = 60⁰

in a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg, so x = 1.

the longer leg is the short leg * Sq rt of 3

Sq rt of 3 to the nearest tenth is 1.7, so 1.7 * 1 is still 1.7, so y = 1.7.
