Step-by-step explanation:

it's easy to prove in any right triangle with a 30° angle, the side opposite to that angle is half the hypotenuse. CA (1/2)BC, CA/BC=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take an equilateral triangle of side.

Bisec it through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.

You now have two right-angled triangles with angels 30° , 60°, 90° with the edge opposite the 30° of length 1/2 and hypotenuse 1. So

sin (30°) = 1/2/1= 1/2.

Answer: The right angled triangle you describe has angels of 45 degrees, not 30 degrees.

What you proved is sin 45 = 1\2 , which is correct.

Which is the polynomial function of lowest degree with rational real coefficients, a leading coefficient of 3 and roots

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

f(x) = $3x^{3} - 6x^{2} - 15x + 30$

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\sqrt{5}$ is a root, then so is - $\sqrt{5}$

f(x) = 3(x + $\sqrt{5}$ )(x - $\sqrt{5}$ )(x - 2)

= $3(x^{2} - 5)(x - 2)$

= 3( $x^{3} - 2x^{2} - 5x + 10$ )

= $3x^{3} - 6x^{2} - 15x + 30$
