Question

In ∆RST, ∠S = 90°, ∠T = 30°, RT = 12 cm, then find RS and ST.

Sum

Solution

In ∆RST,

∠S = 90∘, ∠T = 30∘,

∴ ∠R = 60∘

By the 30∘ − 60∘ − 90∘ theorem,

RS = `1/2` RT [Side opposite to 30°]

= `1/2 xx 12`

= 6 cm      ...(i)

Also,

ST = `sqrt3/2` [Side opposite to 60°]

= `sqrt3/2 xx 12`

= `6sqrt3` cm    ...(ii)

∴ RS = 6 cm and ST = `6sqrt3` cm
