Answer 1

b = 5√3

Explanation:

I would honestly just use pythag, but I'll use trig:

tanθ = opposite/adjacent

tan(30°) = 5/b

btan(30°) = 5

b = 5/tan(30°)

b = 5/(√3/3) = 15/√3

b = 15/√3 · (√3/√3) = 15√3/3

b = 5/√3

Check with pythag:

a² + b² = c²

5² + 5√3² = 10²

25 + 25(3) = 100

25 + 75 = 100 ✅

I hope this helps!
