In the triangle below, what is the length of the side opposite the 30 angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The length of the side opposite 30 degrees in a 30-60-90 triangle is the adjacent side times the tangent of 30. Tangent of 30 is [sqrt(3)]/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: it's not b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uw!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3sqrt3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep getting it wrong but i feel like my work is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The length you want is: (3)(tan 30) Above I said that tan 30 is [sqrt(3)]/3 So, (3)[sqrt(3)]/3. That equals what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3)[sqrt(3)]/3 = \[\frac{ \cancel3 \times \sqrt{3} }{ \cancel3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radical 3 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it! Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you once again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime, and you have a great day! @phknkayy
