Question

Please I need help.

Answer 1

Answer:

XZ = 26.7

ZY = 11.7

Area =  140.4 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠Z = 180-(26+90) = 64°

to get XZ you can use the law of sines:

sin 90°/XZ = sin 64°/24

1/XZ = sin(64°)

cross-multiply to get:

XZ·sin(64°) = 24

XZ = 24/sin(64°)

XZ = 26.7

to get ZY you can use the law of sines again:

sin 64°/24 = sin 26°/ZY

cross-multiply to get:

ZY·sin(64°) = 24·sin(26°)

ZY = 24·sin(26°) ÷ sin(64°)

ZY = 11.7

Area = 1/2(11.7)(24)

= 12(11.7)

= 140.4 sq inches
