Answer:


Cos(30)=(5√(3) )/(m)


(√(3) )/(2) =(5√(3) )/(m)


m\:√(3) =10√(3)


m=10

------------------------

Hope it helps...

Have a great day!!

Answer:

m = 10

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj side / hypotenuse

cos 30 = 5 sqrt(3) / m

m cos 30 = 5 sqrt(3)

m = 5 sqrt(3) / cos 30

m = 5 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)/2

m = 5 / (1/2)

m = 10
