In triangle XYZ, \angleY = 45^\circ and \angleZ = 60^\circ. If XZ  = 4, then what is XY?

By the Sine Law, XY = 3 - sqrt(3).

We have that

 

XY/ sin Z  = XZ / sin Y

 

XY/ sin 60°  = 4 /  sin 45°

 

XY  =  4sin 60°  /sin 45°

 

XY  =  4 sqrt (3)  / sqrt (2)

 

XY =  4 sqrt (6)  / 2  =   2sqrt (6)

XY / XZ = sin(∠X) / sin(∠Y)

 

XY = 2√6
