A building lot in a city is shaped as a 30° -60° -90° triangle. The side opposite the 30° angle measures 41 feet. a. Find the length of the side of the lot opposite the 60° angle. b. Find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangular lot. c. Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of the 30° angle in the lot. Write your answers as decimals rounded to four decimal places.
Did you draw the picture?
rations of a 30 - 60- 90 right triangle are \(1:\sqrt{3}:2\) for short side: long side : hypotenuse

I honestly have no clue how to do this
In this special triangle, the side opposite the 30 degree angle is 1/2 the hypotenuse. The long leg is the short leg multiplied by sqrt3
