The clothes weigh 14.77 kilograms.

Given:
Weight of suitcase = 50 pounds
Towels = 20% of weight
Shoes = 15% of weight
Clothes = 65% of weight

convert pounds to kilograms using proportion:

<u>pounds</u>        <u>2.2</u> = <u>50</u>
kilograms       1           x

2.2x = 50 ⇒ x = 50/2.2 ⇒ x = 22.73 kgs

Clothes : 22.73 kgs * 65% = 14.77 kgs
Towels  : 22.73 kgs * 20% =   4.55 kgs
Shoes   : 22.73 kgs * 15% =   3.41 kgs

Answer: 2.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Asuming we have a triangle XYZ, where:

XY=2 units

XZ=Y, hence Z=XY=2 units

Angle A for Y is A=75\°

Angle B for Z is B=50\°

We have to apply the law of sines:

\frac{sin A}{Y}=\frac{sin B}{Z}=\frac{sin C}{X}

Then:

\frac{sin 75\°}{Y}=\frac{sin 50\°}{2 units}

Isolating Y:

Y=\frac{(2units)sin 75\°}{sin 50\°}

Y=2.5 units
