  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a right triangle, if one of the angles is 60° and the hypotenuse is 10 cm, find the length of the side opposite the 60° angle.

    • A) 5√3 cm
    • B) 5 cm
    • C) 10√3 cm
    • D) 10/√3 cm

    Answer: 5√3 cm

    Explanation: Using sin(60°) = opposite side / hypotenuse, we get √3/2 = opposite side / 10, so opposite side = 5√3 cm.
