Side |CB|:

Sin(60)= opposite side / hypotenuse
We know hyp=10
And opposite side =|CB|

=sin60= opp/10

So multiply both sides by 10
10sin60 = opp

|CB| = 10 (√3 ÷ 2) = 5 √3


Then we can use Pythagoras theorem to get the other side (or we can do the same thing as before using either cos60 or sin30 =|BA| /10)

a² + b² = c² where c is the hypotenuse

(5 √3)² + b² = 10²

(25)(3) + b² = 100
75+ b² = 100

-75 from both sides

b² = 25
So b = |BA| = √25 = 5
