Given:

The figure of a right angle triangle with legs a and 7, and hypotenuse c.

The measure of angle opposite to leg 7 is 30^\circ.

To find:

All the missing measures for the triangle.

Solution:

According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So,


30^\circ+90^\circ+\text{Missing angle}=180^\circ


120^\circ+\text{Missing angle}=180^\circ


\text{Missing angle}=180^\circ-120^\circ


\text{Missing angle}=60^\circ

In a right angle triangle ,


\sin\theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\sin (30^\circ)=(7)/(c)


(1)/(2)=(7)/(c)


c=7* 2


c=14

In a right angle triangle,


\tan \theta =(Perpendicular)/(Base)


\tan (30^\circ)=(7)/(a)


(1)/(√(3))=(7)/(a)


a=7* √(3)


a=7√(3)

Therefore, the measure of the missing angle is 60 degrees. Side "a" has a length of 14 units and side "c" has a length of
7√(3) units.
