Solve a 30-60-90 Triangle

What is the height of a right triangle with an angle that measures 30 degrees and a base of 4?

Height=
<pre>It DEPENDS on where that 30<sup>o</sup> &#8737 is located.

If this smaller acute angle is OPPOSITE the base, then the LONGER LEG/ALTITUDE is: {{{4sqrt(3)}}}.
However, if the larger acute angle is OPPOSITE the base, then the SHORTER LEG/ALTITUDE is: {{{4sqrt(3)/3}}}.
