Question

In the right triangle shown, A= 30° and AB = 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

$BC=4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

$sin(30^o)=\frac{BC}{AB}$ ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

we have

$AB=8\ units\\\\sin(30^o)=\frac{1}{2}$

solve for BC

$BC=sin(30^o)(AB)$

substitute the values

$BC=(\frac{1}{2})(8)$

$BC=4\ units$
