Answer:

23.6°

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The marked sides of the triangle are the hypotenuse and the side opposite the desired angle. So, we have ...

sin(Z) = 6/15

Z = arcsin(6/15) = 23.6°

The measure of angle XZY is about 23.6°.
