Step 1 :We are given that the length of line segment XY is 962 meters, the angle XYZ is 35 degrees, and the angle YZX is 117.9 degrees.
Step 2 :We can use the Law of Sines to find the length of line segment XZ. The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle.
Step 3 :Setting up the equation using the Law of Sines, we get \(\frac{XZ}{\sin(Y)} = \frac{XY}{\sin(Z)}\).
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into the equation, we get \(\frac{XZ}{\sin(35)} = \frac{962}{\sin(117.9)}\).
Step 5 :Solving for XZ, we get \(XZ = \frac{962 \times \sin(35)}{\sin(117.9)}\).
Step 6 :Calculating the above expression, we get XZ approximately equal to 1482.2480183355817.
Step 7 :Rounding to the nearest meter, we get XZ approximately equal to 1482 meters.
Step 8 :Final Answer: The distance between point X and point Z is \(\boxed{1482}\) meters.
