Question

Solve for x and y (Hint: is this a right triangle?)

(30° angle and 5 on the opposite side if anyone couldn’t see)

Answer 1

Answer: c=10, b=5 root 3

Explanation:

it is a 30-60-90 triangle (use sum of angles in a triangle theorem.)

5 is the leg oppoiste to the 30 degree, so it is half of the hypotenuse, which is c, so c=10

then just use pythagorean theorem and 100-25=75 so answer is root 75 simplified to 5 root 3
