Question

Find the value of $x$ for the right triangle. A right triangle with base labeled x and hypotenuse labeled 12 units. Angle between the height and hypotenuse is labeled 30 degrees. $x=$

Answer 1

6 feets

Explanation:

The triangle described in the question has been sketched in the picture attached below :

From the triangle, we could solve for X, which is the base of the triangle using trigonometry :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin 30° = x / 12

0.5 = x / 12

x = 12 * 0.5

x = 6 feets

Hence base, x = 6 feets
