Question

XYZ is a non —right triangle. If XY measures 20 cm, XZ measures 15 cm and Z measyres 35 then what is the measure of Y

Answer 1

Y is an acute angle

I would like to make this answer interesting by guiding you to calculate your answer

Just take a sheet of paper and take a compass(rounder) and take 20 cm and draw an arc before measuring 35 cm of YZ as base and then take 35 cm arc after cutting the arc you'll see the two arcs intersect each other just join all the vertices and then you'll get your answer it's that easy!

Answer 2

Answer:

25.48°

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 20 cm

XZ = 15 cm

∠Z= 35°

$\frac{XZ}{sinY} = \frac{XY}{sin Z} \\\frac{15}{sin Y} = \frac{20}{sin(35)} \\Y = sin^{-1} (\frac{15 sin(35)}{20})\\Y = 25.47913164$
