Question

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Can anyone help me solve for this? I really suck at finding Radicals. Help would be much appreciated

Thank you!

Answer 1

x = sqrt(3)

Explanation:

tan theta = opp/adj for a right triangle

tan 60 =x/1

tan 60 =x

We know tan 60 = sqrt(3)

sqrt(3) = x
