Question

16. Find m/W.
W
22
Z
25°
X
15
Y

Answer 1

The measure of angle W is about 58.21°.

Explanation:

Set your calculator to degree mode.

We start by finding XZ.

sin(25°) = 15/XZ

XZsin(25°) = 15

XZ = 15/sin(25°) = 35.49302

From this, we determine the measure of angle W.

tan(W) = 35.49302/22

W = tan^-1(35.49302/22) = 58.21°
