Answer:

The measure of the angle opposite the leg that is 6 inches long is

30^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given sides of right triangle that is we will use pythagoras theorem:

hypotenuse^2=side^2+side^2

Here, we have one side which is 6 inches

And other side is 6\sqrt{3} inches on substituting the values in the formula above we get:

hypotenuse^2=6^2+(6\sqrt{3})^2

hypotenuse^2=36+108

\Rightarrow hypotenuse^2=144

\Rightarrow hypotenuse=12

The angle will be sin\theta=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

sin\theta=\frac{6}{12}

\Rightarrow sin\theta=\frac{1}{2}

\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})

\Rightarrow \theta=30^{\circ}

Hence,  the measure of the angle opposite the leg that is 6 inches long is

30^{\circ}
