Answer:

b is 8√3A

Explanation:

In the given triangle

∵ The Δ is the special right triangle 30°: 60°: 90°

∴ There is a ratio between its sides

∵ a is opposite to the angle of measure 30°

∵ b is opposite to the angle of measure 60°

∵ c is opposite the angle of measure 90°

a: b: c = 1: √3: 2

c = 16

→ By using the ratio between its sides

30°: 60°: 90°

→ 1 : √3: 2

→ a : b : 16

→ By using cross multiplication

b × 2 = √3 × 16

∴ 2b = 16√3

→ Divide both sides by 2

b = 8√3
