Answer:

The correct answer is option A. √3

Explanation:

From the figure we can see that aright angled triangle.

Points to remember

If a right angled triangle with angle 30°, 60° and 90° then the sides are in the ratio, 1 : √3 : 2

To find the length of side opposite to 30°

Let 'x' be the side opposite to the 30°, the we can write,

x : 3 : Hypotenuse = 1 : √3 : 2

Therefore x = 3/√3 = √3

The length of side opposite to the 30° is √3

The correct answer is option A. √3
