Answer:

Y = 28.31

Z = 13.29

Angle A = 28

Explanation:

For Angle A:

Remember a triangle has a total of 180 degree angles. So set up your formula as

180 - 62 -90 = Angle A

For Y:

The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

sin (B) = opp/hyp or b/c or (y)

sinB = 62

b = 25

Rewrite as c=b/2SinB -> c=25/sin62 -> Y = 28.31

For Z:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown side.


z^(2) = 28.31^(2) - 25^(2)

z = 13.29
