Finding the Hypotenuse in a Right Triangle

Very Easy Additional Math Topics Trigonometry

Consider a right triangle where one of the angles is $30^{ ext{o}}$. The length of the side opposite the $30^{ ext{o}}$ angle is 5 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle?

Use the sine function, which for an angle $ heta$ in a right triangle is defined as:

$$ ext{sin}( heta) = rac{ ext{opposite}}{ ext{hypotenuse}}$$

Determine the length of the hypotenuse using this information.
