Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle the side between 60 and 90 degree angle is a, the side between 30 and 90 degree angle is a√3, and the hypotenuse is 2*a.

Given that the side that is supposed to be a is currently √3, we know that the missing side x must be:

a√3 (We know that a, in this case, is √3, so substitute)

x = (√3) * (√3)

x = 3
