Given:

IJK is the right triangle.


\angle J=90^(\circ),\angle I=60^(\circ),IK=2\sqrt[]{21}

Use the cosine ratio,


\begin{gathered} \cos I=\frac{adjacent\text{ side}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ \cos 60^(\circ)=(IJ)/(IK) \\ \cos 60^(\circ)=\frac{IJ}{2\sqrt[]{21}} \\ (1)/(2)=\frac{IJ}{2\sqrt[]{21}} \\ IJ=\frac{2\sqrt[]{21}}{2} \\ IJ=\sqrt[]{21} \end{gathered}

Answer:


IJ=\sqrt[]{21}
