sin 30 = y/3 can you find y ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You have a famous triangle. If two angles are 30 and 90 deg, what is the third angle?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

60

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. You have a 30-60-90 degree triangle. In a 30-60-90 degree triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is \(1~:~\sqrt 3~: 2\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Also, notice that this is a right triangle. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle. Then the next longest side is the leg opposite the 60-deg angle. The shortest side is the leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
