m
Write your answer in simplest radical form.
feet
60°
6 ft

Answer 1

M=3ft

Explanation:

Use trigonometric ratio Sin to get M which is the opposite side of the given angle of 30°

`sin = (opp)/(hyp)`

`sin30 = (m)/(6)`

Multiply 6 on both sides:

`6sin30 = m`

Use a calculator:

3=M

or..

use special angles:

Sin30=0.5

6×0.5=3

Therefore M is 3 ft
