Answer: √3
Explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse
Where α is the angle (30°), the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case 2), and the opposite side is x. (not t or 2)
Replacing with the values given:
Sin 30 = x /2
Sin 30 (2) = x
x=1
Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (2) and a and b are the other sides.
2^2 = t^2 + 1^2
4= t^2 +1
4-1 = t^2
3 = t^2
√3 = t
