Find the value of x in the figure above
20\(\sqrt{3}\)cm
10\(\sqrt{3}\)cm
5\(\sqrt{3}\)cm
4\(\sqrt{3}\)cm

Explanation

In the figure above, \(\frac{x}{\sin 60^o} = \frac{10}{\sin 30^o}\) (Sine rule)

x = \(\frac{10 \sin 60^o}{\sin 30^o}\)

= 10 x \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\)

= 10 x \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{2}{1}\)

= 10\(\sqrt{3}\)cm
