(1) Using trigonometric ratios:
sin(30) = \frac{YZ}{50}
YZ = 25

(2) Using Pythagoras' Theorem:
cos(30) = \frac{XY}{50}
50cos(30) = XY
50^{2} - 50^{2}cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}
2500 - 2500cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}
YZ = 25

(3) Using sine rule:
\frac{50}{sin(90)} = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}
50 = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}
50sin(30) = YZ
YZ = 25

Which did you include in your response?

Solve the equation where the sine of 30 degrees is equal to YZ/50.

Solve the equation where the tangent of 30 degrees is equal to YZ/50.

Solve 180 - (30 + 90) = 60 to find the measure of angle Z. Then use the cosine of Z to write and solve an equation.

Use the 30°-60°-90° triangle theorem to find that YZ = 50/2.
