2. What is the area of the triangle?
Show your work or provide an explanation for your answers.
its a triangle with angles of 90 degrees and 30 degrees and 60 degrees. with an hypotenuse of 8 inches.
---------------
The side opposite the 30 degs = 4 inches
= 8*sin(30) = 4
-----------------
The other side is 8*sin(60) = 4sqrt(3) inches
---------
Area = b*h/2 = 4*4sqrt(3)/2 = 8sqrt(3) sq inches
