Question

Find the missing side lengths leave your answer as a racials simplest form

Answer 1

y=3 and x=3*sqrt(3)

Explanation:

sin(30)=y/6

1/2=y/6, y=3. As it's a right angled triangle, 6^2-3^2=x^2, x=3*sqrt(3)

Answer 2

x = 3 sqrt(3)

y = 3

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin 30 = y /6

6 sin 30 = y

6 (1/2) = y

3 = y

cos theta = adj / hyp

cos 30 = x /6

6 cos 30 =x

6 ( sqrt(3)/2) =x

3 sqrt(3) = x
