Answer : The lengths of the other two sides of the triangle is, 5 and
5√(3)

Step-by-step explanation :

Given:

∠ACB = 90°

∠CAB = 60°

∠ABC = 30°

Length of hypotenuse = 10

According to trigonometric function,


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

First we have to calculate the length AC.


\sin 30^o=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\sin 30^o=(AC)/(AB)

As we know that,
\sin 30^o=(1)/(2)


(1)/(2)=(AC)/(10)


AC=5

Now we have to calculate the length CB.


\sin 60^o=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\sin 60^o=(CB)/(AB)

As we know that,
\sin 60^o=(√(3))/(2)


(√(3))/(2)=(CB)/(10)


CB=5√(3)

Therefore, the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle is, 5 and
5√(3)

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is a right angle, angle C A B is 60 degrees, and-example-1
