The length of the hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 23 m. Find the length of the side opposite the 30° angle.

Question

Please help, Thank you for your help. 

Answer 1

In a 30° - 60° - 90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always twice as large as the length of the side opposite the 30° angle.  

 

So, since the length of the hypotenuse is 23 m, the side opposite the 30° angle has length 11.5 m.
