The correct Answer is:
To find the length of AC in triangle ABC, where angle B is a right angle, AB = 6 units, and angle C = 30 degrees, we can use the sine function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the triangle and known values**: - Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle B = 90 degrees. - AB (the side opposite angle C) = 6 units. - Angle C = 30 degrees. 2. **Use the sine function**: - In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse. - Therefore, we can write: \[ \sin C = \frac{AB}{AC} \] - Substituting the known values: \[ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{6}{AC} \] 3. **Calculate \(\sin 30^\circ\)**: - We know that \(\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\). 4. **Set up the equation**: - Now substituting \(\sin 30^\circ\) into the equation: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{AC} \] 5. **Cross-multiply to solve for AC**: - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 \cdot AC = 2 \cdot 6 \] - Therefore: \[ AC = 12 \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The length of AC is 12 units. ### Final Answer: AC = 12 units.
