Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Since the triangle is right use cosine or sine to solve for AC

note cos30° =
(√(3) )/(2), thus

cos30° =
(adjacent)/(hypotenuse) =
(AC)/(BC) =
(AC)/((10)/(3) ) and


(AC)/((10)/(3) ) =
(√(3) )/(2), that is


(3x)/(10) =
(√(3) )/(2) ( cross- multiply )

6x = 10
√(3) ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = AC =
(10)/(6)
√(3) =
(5)/(3)
√(3)
