Explanation

Choice A is correct. The triangle angle sum theorem states that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. It's given that in XYZ, the measure of X is 24° and the measure of Y is 98°. It follows that the measure of Z is 180-24-98°, or 58°.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the sum of the measures of X and Y, not the measure of Z.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
