The length of the side BC is 6√3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the sine rule

In Δ XYZ

  • The side XY is opposite to angle Z
  • The side YZ is opposite to angle X
  • The side XZ is opposite to angle Y
  • The sine rule is \frac{XY}{sin(Z)}=\frac{YZ}{sin(X)}=\frac{XZ}{sin(Y)}

In Δ ABC

∵ m∠A = 60°

∵ m∠C = 30°

∵ AB = 6 inches

- By using the sine rule

∵ AB is opposite to ∠C

∵ BC is opposite to ∠A

∵  \frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}

∴ \frac{6}{sin(30)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ BC × sin(30) = 6 × sin(60)

∵ sin(30) = \frac{1}{2}  and sin(60) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

∴ \frac{1}{2} BC = 6( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} )

∴ \frac{1}{2} BC = 3\sqrt{3}

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ BC = 6√3

The length of the side BC is 6√3 inches
