Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle with angles of 30-60-90 will always have sides that measure in the following proportions:
The side opposite the 30* angle = a
The side opposite the 60* angle =
The side opposite the 90* angle = 2a
(I used "a" here because your question uses "x" and I don't want to confuse things, but usually people use "x" rather than "a")
They gave us that the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90* angle) is 10, from there we can figure out the other sides:
Since the side opposite 90* is 2a, and 2a = 10, divide 10 by 2 and you get a = 5.
Once we know what "a" is, we can fill in the rest:
30* = 5
60* =
90* = 10
Well... hell, let's just convert them all with the same denominator then
hmmm let's see, we have the denominators of 8,11 and 3
so... we'll multiply the 5/8 times (11*3) or 33
and then we'll multiply 7/11 times (8*3) or 24
and then we'll multiply 2/3 times (8 * 11)
notice, we're simply using the other's denominator's product, to multiply the fractions... anyhow... let's check
