anonymous · Answer

this evidently is a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle
RTS is 60 degree angle

anonymous · Answer

we know it is a 30 - 60 - 90 right triangle because the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg

anonymous · Answer

okay...... but what could I do to solve?

anonymous · Answer

there is nothing to actually do, if you mean like taking 4 steps to "solve for $x$" or something
you do it from your eyes

anonymous · Answer

you see it is a right triangle because you have that written for you
you see that the hypotenuse is twice the short side, so you know it is a 30-60-90 right triangle
you are asked for the angle opposite the longest leg, that angle is 60
it is good to have this triangle memorized, you will use it a ton in trig

thanks... I find the "memorize the triange" problems a bit difficult... I'm an algebra kinda gal, and Geometry is kicking my tail this year!..... haha and this is supposed to be trig work???
