Question

in a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle is 8. Find the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle.

Answer 1

. The missing angle must, therefore, be 60 degrees, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle. And because this is a 30-60-90 triangle, and we were told that the shortest side is 8, the hypotenuse must be 16 and the missing side must be 8 * √ 3 , or 8 √ 3 . Our final answer is 8√3.
