Question

What are the values of the variables in the triangle? Photo included

Answer 1

30 - 60 - 90 triangle, is this for geometry? or trigonometry?

Answer 2

if a triangle has a maximum internal angle of 180,let us do a little bit of calculation.
you have a right triangle with another angle of 30

Answer 3

that leaves you a 60 degree angle on your missing angle.

Answer 4

yes, its a 30-60-90, i knew that. Its for geometry.

Answer 5

it doesn't matter whether this is a geometry or trigonometry, because they use the same theorem

Answer 6

I'm guessing for geometry..
so
the leg opposite to the 30 degrees is
x = 1/2 (26√3)
y = 1/2 (26√3) √3

Answer 7

x = 13√3
y = 13 x 3 = 39

Take a look at that , ash, it comes in handy :P

Answer 9

let us align your triangle a little bit so it is less confusing, shall we?

Answer 10

√3 x √3 = 3
if you are wondering where the 3 came from for y.

Answer 11

that is nifty thing to have, but it comes with the same answer if we followed one general concept throughout.
x = 1/2 of hypotenuse

Answer 12

but what if it is not 30-60-90… shoot good luck
