If two angles of a triangle are 30o each and the longest side is 10cm. Calculate the length of each of the other sides
A
5cm
B
4cm
C
3√3 cm
D
10\(\frac{3}{3}\)cm
correct option: d

102 = 2x2 - 2x2 cos 120o (Cosine rule)

100 = 242 - 2x2 - 2x2 x -(\frac{1}{2})

100 = 3x2 + x2

= 3x2

x = (\sqrt{\frac{100}{3}})

= (\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}) x (\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}})

x = 10(\frac{3}{3})cm
