Question 545985
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*sin(60) = 13*sqrt(3)/2}}}
s =~ 11.258
----------------
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the short side = 1/2 the hypotenuse = 6.5
{{{s = sqrt(13^2 - 6.5^2) = sqrt(126.75)}}}
s =~ 11.258
