Respuesta :
The longer leg is opposite the 60, so to get the shorter leg you have to divide by [tex] \sqrt{3} [/tex]
18 / [tex] \sqrt{3} [/tex] = [tex]6 \sqrt{3} [/tex]
18 / [tex] \sqrt{3} [/tex] = [tex]6 \sqrt{3} [/tex]
The measures of the legs of the triangle are 9 units and 15.6 units.
What is the length of the other leg?
Here we have a 30°-60°-90° triangle, which is a right triangle.
We know that the hypotenuse measures 18 units, then we can use the trigonometric equations:
cos(60°) = (adjacent cathetus)/18
cos(60°)*18 = adjacent cathetus = 9 units.
sin(60°) = (opposite cathetus)/18
sin(60°)*18 = opposite cathetus = 15.6 units.
So the measures of the legs of the triangle are 9 units and 15.6 units.
