Question

30-60-90 triangle adjacent leg is 15. what is the opposite leg?

Answer 1

The measure of the opposite leg is 25.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

In a right triangle,

• The side opposite to 90° is the hypotenuse = 2a.
• The side opposite to 30° is the adjacent leg = a.
• The side opposite to 60° is the opposite leg = a√3.

Step 2 :

Given,

Adjacent leg, a = 15

Opposite leg, a√3 = 15 $\times$ 1.732

Opposite leg = 25.98
