Then,
`image`

The correct answer is :
`5√(3) .`

Answer 2

The correct answer is: [C]: " 5√3 " .
_________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________________
In a "30-60-90" triangle:

The side opposite from the "30° angle" is "x" ;

The side opposite from the "60° angle is: "x√3" ;

and the "hypotenuse" is: "2x" ;
_________________________________________________
So, from the "image attached":

The side opposite from the "60° angle is: "x√3" ; which equals: " 15 " (given) ;
So, x√3 = 15 ;

Divide each side by "√3" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ;
& to solve for "x" ;

(x√3) / √3 = 15 / √3 ;

x = 15 / √3 ;

→ Multiply the entire equation by "√3/√3" (which equals "1"); to get ride oif the "square root" in the "denominator" ;

→ " 15 / √3 = (15 *√3) / (√3 * √3) " ;

= (15√3) / 3 ;

= 5√3 ; which is: Answer choice: [C]: " 5√3 " .
