We are given an angle of 60° and a side of 15 cm.
We are given the opposite and is looking for the hypotenuse so we will use the sine ratio to find x.
sin = opp/hyp
hyp = 15 / sin 60
hyp = 17.32...
//
We can also use the tangent ratio to find the adjecent and then use pythagorean to find x.
tan = opp/adj
adj = 15 / tan 60
adj = 8.660.....
8.660....² + 15² = 300²
since the square root of 300 is an irrational number, we have to turn it into a mixed radical.
The answer would be the top one.
You can identify that "5 over 100" can be written as a fraction. 5 will be the numerator and 100 will be the denominator:
To reduce this fraction, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) between them.
In this case, to find the GCF, you need to:
- Decompose the number into their Prime Factors:
- Notice that 5 is a common factor. Then, you need to choose the one with the lowest exponent:
Therefore, by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5, you get:
Hence, the answer is:
