Question

How to find the length of the base and altitude of a right triangle with the hypotenuse 16 cm and angles 30 ,60, 90 degrees​

Answer 1

Answer:

sin 30 = altitude/hypotenuse

1/2 = altitude/16

1*16/2= altitude

8 cm = altitude

cos 30 = base/hypotenuse

√3/2 = base / 16

√3*16/2= base

16√3/2= base

8√3 cm = base
