Answer 1

Explanation

None of the answers you provided is correct. If you cannot type the symbols required, either use words to describe them or post a picture.

:::::

You have a 30°-60°-90° triangle. REMEMBER that the lengths of the lengths of the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2.

Let x be the length of the side opposite the 30° angle. Then the length of the side opposite the 60° angle is x√3 and the length of the hypotenuse is 2x.

sin(60°) = (x√3)/(2x) = √3/2
