if a 30-60-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 what is the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle?
--------------------
You can do it more than one way.
s+=+13%2Asin%2860%29+=+13%2Asqrt%283%29%2F2
s =~ 11.258
----------------
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the short side = 1/2 the hypotenuse = 6.5
s+=+sqrt%2813%5E2+-+6.5%5E2%29+=+sqrt%28126.75%29
s =~ 11.258
