Answer:

AC = 5 and BC = 5√3

Explanation:

Given:

m<A = 60°

m<B = 30°

AB = 10

Required:

AC and BC

Solution:

Recall, SOH CAH TOA

✔️Find AC:

Reference angle (θ) = 30°

Hypotenuse = 10

Opposite = AC

Apply SOH:

Sin θ = Opp/Hyp

Substitute

Sin 30° = AC/10

10*Sin 30° = AC

10*½ = AC (sin 30° = ½)

5 = AC

AC = 5

✔️Find BC:

Reference angle (θ) = 60°

Hypotenuse = 10

Opposite = BC

Apply SOH:

Sin θ = Opp/Hyp

Substitute

Sin 60° = BC/10

10*Sin 60° = BC

10*√3/2 = BC (sin 60° = √3/2)

5*√3 = BC

BC = 5√3
