13)given triangle xyz as shown at right find yz rounded to the nearest tenth

We have the measure of 2 angles of the triangle. Since the sum of all 3 angles of a triangle must be 180 degrees, we can write:

X+ Y + Z = 180
X + 55 + 29 = 180
⇒ X = 96 degrees

We can find the measure of YZ using the law of sines. Writing the law of sines for given triangle:



Using the values, we get:



Thus the value of YZ, rounded of to nearest tenth will be 42.5
