Question

Help please asap i show step by step !

Answer 1

Answer:

a = $4\sqrt{3}$

b= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a 30-60-90 triangle based on the given picture. A right triangle too

Use sine, cosine, and tangent to solve for the side.

To find b, you can use sin(30) = b/8 because sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse.

OR you can use the rule for 30-60-90 triangle, which is x for short leg, 2x for hypotenuse, and $x\sqrt{3}$ for long leg

So either way, b = 4

To find a, you can use cos(30) = a/8 because cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse.

OR you can use the same rule, 30-60-90 triangle to save time

a will end up = $4\sqrt{3}$
