    For this case we can use the following trigonometric relationship:

    tan (theta) = XY / YZ

    Substituting values we have:

    tan (theta) = 12.4 / 15.1

    Clearing the angle we have:

    theta = atan (12.4 / 15.1)

    Theta = 39.39256804 degrees

    Rounding:

    Theta = 39.3 degrees

    Answer:

    the approximate measure of angle YZX is:

    B. 39.4
