Answer:
10. (l, y) = (6, 12)
11. (c, w) = (9√3, 18√3)
12. (x, y) = (12√3, 24√3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Side ratios, shortest to longest, in a 30°-60°-90° triangle are ...
1 : √3 : 2
__
10. l : 6√3 : y = 1 : √3 : 2
multiply by 6
= 6 : 6√3 : 12
l = 6, y = 12
__
11. c : 27 : w = 1 : √3 : 2
multiply by 27/√3 = 9√3
= 9√3 : 27 : 18√3
c = 9√3, w = 18√3
__
12. x : 36 : y = 1 : √3 : 2
multiply by 36/√3 = 12√3
= 12√3 : 36 : 24√3
x = 12√3, y = 24√3
__
This is easier when the triangle is drawn to clearly differentiate the lengths of the sides. The long leg is opposite the 60° angle; the short leg is opposite the 30° angle.
