A right triangle’s hypotenuse is 20 cm long. What is the length of the side opposite a 60° angle? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.%0D%0A(1 point)

Answer 1

The side opposite the 60° angle in a right triangle is given by `sin(60°) = opposite / hypotenuse`.

Therefore, `opposite = sin(60°) * 20 = 20 * sqrt(3) / 2 = 10 * sqrt(3) ≈ 17.3 cm`.

So, the length of the side opposite the 60° angle is approximately 17.3 cm.
