Question 981595: There is a 30-60-90 triangle. It is divided into three segments length wise. The leftmost length, where I need to find "H" the height of the right triangle is unknown, but the hypotenuse has a segment of 50, before the middle segment with a height of 30 and a length of 40. How do I find H?

30X40 (for center segment, 30 being the height of the left line of the segment, 40 being the length of the center segment)

Try posting this question again but improved. After rechecking it throughout the day, I still can not follow your description. Can you either make a more precise description of where each point and segment is, and label or describe how each element is to be labeled; or give the features of the triangle with cartesian coordinate for the description; or supply a photocopy or manually drawn figure?

Maybe my mind is dense for your written help request, but no other tutor has yet taken this question today.
