Question

Find the indicated side of the

right triangle.
60°
30°
X
x = 3√√√/[?]
3

Answer 1

x = 3
`√(3)`

Explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan30° =
`(1)/(√(3) )` , then

tan30° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(3)/(x)` =
`(1)/(√(3) )` ( cross- multiply )

x = 3
`√(3)`
