Answer 1

1) To find $x$ we are going to use the Pythagorean equation:
 $x= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2} }$
where 
$a$ and $b$ are the legs of our triangle. For our picture we can infer that $a=10$ and $b=8$, so lets replace those values in our equation to find $x$:
$x= \sqrt{10^{2}+8^{2}}$
$x= \sqrt{100+64}$
$x= \sqrt{164}$
$x=12.8$
We can conclude that the value of $x$ in our triangle is 12.8

2) To find $y$ we are going to use the trigonometric function tangent. Remember that $tan(y)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$. We know that the opposite side of our angle $y$ is 8, and its adjacent side is 10, so lets replace those values in our tangent function to find $y$:
$tan(y)= \frac{8}{10}$
$tan(y)=0.8$
Since we need the measure of angle $y$, we are going to take inverse tangent to both sides to find it:
$y=arctan(0.8)$
$y=38.66$
We can conclude that the value of $y$ in our triangle is 38.66°

3) Finally, to find $z$ we are going to take advantage of two facts: the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°, and  our triangle is a right one, so one of its sides is 90°. Therefore, $y+z+90=180$. Since we already know the value of $y$, lets replace it in our equation and solve for $z$:
$38.66+z+90=180$
$z+128.66=180$
$z=51.34$
We can conclude that the measure of angle $z$ is 51.34°
