Question

Determine the length of AY if ARAY is a 30°-60°-90° triangle and RY has a length of 48 centimeters.

Answer 1

48√3 cm

Explanation:

I'm assuming that ∠A = 30°, ∠R = 60°, and ∠Y = 90°.

The sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:√3:2.

RY is opposite the 30° angle and has length 48 cm.

AY is opposite the 60° angle, so the length of AY = 48√3 cm.
