    In \[\Delta ABC\], if \[\angle C={{90}^{o}}\],\[\angle A={{30}^{o}}\], \[c=20\], then the values of a and b are

    A) 10, 10

    B) \[10,\,10\sqrt{3}\]

    C) \[5,\,\,5\sqrt{3}\]

    D) \[8,\,\,8\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\angle C={{90}^{o}},\angle A={{30}^{o}},c=20,\] then \[a=\frac{c\sin A}{\sin C}=10\] and  \[b=\frac{c\sin B}{\sin C}=10\sqrt{3}\]. Trick: Since the angles are\[{{30}^{o}},{{60}^{o}},{{90}^{o}}\], therefore sides must be\[1:\sqrt{3}:2\]. Hence\[a=10,b=10\sqrt{3}\].
