Question

In the right triangle shown, m\angle Q = 60\degreem∠Q=60°m, angle, Q, equals, 60, degree and QR=2\sqrt 3QR=2 3 ​ Q, R, equals, 2, square root of, 3, end square root. How long is PQPQP, Q? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

got it right on khan. 4/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

√3

Explanation:

From the given parameters

Assuming the adjacent side is x

Adjacent = x

Hypotenuse = 2√√

Angle of elevation = 60degrees

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity;

Cos theta = Adj/Hyp

Cos 60 = x/2√3

x = 2√3 cos 60

x = 2√3 * 1/2

x = √3

Hence the value of x is √3
