Math Problem Statement
What is the measure of side b in the given triangle with hypotenuse c = 10?
Solution
To determine the measure of side , we need to analyze the triangle. The given triangle has:
- Hypotenuse .
- Angle at is labeled, suggesting we might use trigonometric relationships.
If the triangle is a 30°-60°-90° triangle, standard ratios of the sides apply:
- The side opposite 30° is half the hypotenuse ().
- The side opposite 60° is .
Alternatively, for general triangles, trigonometric functions like sine or cosine can help:
- or
- .
Let me know if further clarification or additional information is needed for calculations!

Formulas
In a 30°-60°-90° triangle: side opposite 30° = (1/2) * hypotenuse, side opposite 60° = (√3/2) * hypotenuse
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
