Question 1091196: Assuming that side c is the longest side, what length for side a will produce a right triangle? In triangle ABC, A = 60°, and side c = 18 ft. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming that side c is the longest side, what length for side a will produce a right triangle? In triangle ABC, A = 60°, and side c = 18 ft.
----------------
The 2 sides are:
18*sin(60)
18*cos(60)
----------
If side a is opposite angle A,
a = 18*sin(60) = 18*(sqrt(3)/2)
a = 9*sqrt(3) ft
