find the length of side x in the simplest radical form with a rational denominator

Answer: 10√3 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
cos 30 = 5 / x
x = 5 / cos 30
= 5 / √3 / 2
= 10 √3
= 10√3 / 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that this is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 1
------ = ------- (which is the tangent of 30°)
√2 √3
Then √3*x = √2, and so:
√2
x = ----------
√3
Rationalize this as follows:
√2*√3 √6
x = ------------- = ------
3- 3
