Question

The diagonal of a right triangle is 14

cm, find the lengths of the other two
sides of the triangle given that one of
its angles is 30 degrees.

Answer 1

7 and 7√3

Explanation:

It's a rule in a triangle with 30°, 60° and 90°

Side opposite to 30° is x

Side opposite to 60° is x√3

Side opposite to 90° is 2x (diagonal)

So,

2x = 14

x = 7 (side with 30°)

x√3 = 7√3
