Question

Help figure this out please, I used the last of my points!

Answer 1

In a right triangle, the side that is opposite to a 30 degree angle is equal to half the hypotenuse (you can search it up)

So, the hypotenuse is equal to 3 x 2 = 6

Using the pythagorean theorem, we have :


`x^(2) +3^(2) =6^(2)`

`x^(2) =6^(2) -3^(2)`
`=36 - 9`
`= 27`

`x = √(27)`
`= 5.19615242271...` (round to 5.2)

Simplify :


`√(27) = √(9.3) = 3.√(3)`
