Given a right triangle HTO, with angle TOH is equal to 60 degrees and side TO is equal to 5, what is the length of side HT?
I'm NOT familiar with the description of triangle in terms of letters. I assume the the given side "TO" is the Adjacent side.If that is so, then we have:
Cos(60)=5/Hypotenuse
.5=5/H
H=5/.5
H=10, then we have:
10^2=5^2 + (HT)^2
HT^2=100 - 25=75
HT=Sqrt(75)
HT=8.66. If "TO" is the Hypotenuse, then:
HT=4.33
