Question

Can someone help me with number 3 please??!!

Answer 1

There are 2 way to solve this.

one using Pythagoras theorem and 2nd using trigonometry

so lets solve it by both

using Pythagoras theorem we know

base^2 + perpendicular^2 = hypotanes^2

6^2 + x^2 = 12^2

36 + x^2 = 144

x^2 = 144- 36 = 108

x = √(108) = √( 2×2×3×3×3)

= (2×3) √ (3) = 6 √3

so answer is option 2

bow lets use trigonometry

we know
sin theta = perpendicular / hypotanes
sin 60 = x /12
x = 12 × sin 60
we kNow sin 60 = √3/ 2
so
x = 12×√3 /2 = 6√3
