Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Concept: </u>
Here, we need to know the idea of a special triangle 30-60-90.
A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist.
The ratio between the corresponding side of each angle is 1 : √3 : 2
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
<u>Solve:</u>
30-60-90 ⇔ 1 : √3 : 2
Given the side corresponding to 90° is 20
30° : 90° = 1 : 2
30° : 20 = 1 : 2
30° = 10
30° : 60° = 1 : √3
10 : 60° = 1 : √3
60° = 10√3
Hope this helps!! :)
