since the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2
a,b) the sides are 41:41√3:82
c) as we all know (or should, because the come up repeatedly):
sin 30° = 1/2
cos 30° = √3/2
tan 30° = √3
And since the co-functions are the functions of the complementary angle, we automatically get
sin 60° = √3/2
cos 60° = 1/2
tan 60° = √3
Q: A building lot in a city is shaped as a 30° -60° -90° triangle. The side opposite the 30° angle measures 41 feet.
a. Find the length of the side of the lot opposite the 60° angle.
b. Find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangular lot.
C.Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of the 30° angle in the lot. Write your answers as decimals rounded to four decimal places.
