Answer:


\huge\boxed{\boxed{a=6}}

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

  • trigonometry
  • PEMDAS
  • equation

tips and formulas:

  • sin(30°)=½
  • sin(x)=opp/hypo

let's solve:


step - 1 : define


\sin( {30}^(o) ) = (a)/(12)


step - 2 : solve


  1. \tt substitute \: the \: value \: of \: \sin( {30}^(o) ) \\ \tt (1)/(2) = (a)/(12)

  2. \tt cross \: multiplication : \\ \tt2a = 12

  3. \tt divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 2 : \\ \tt (2a)/(2) = (12)/(2) \\ \therefore a = 6
