In right-angled triangles ABC with hypotenuse AC, the height BK is drawn. Angle C is 60 degrees.

In right-angled triangles ABC with hypotenuse AC, the height BK is drawn. Angle C is 60 degrees. What is the side of AK if CK = 5 cm?

In a right-angled triangle, BKC tg60 = BK / KC.

BK = KC * tg60 = 5 * √3 cm.

The height BK is drawn from the top of the right angle to the hypotenuse AC, then:

BK ^ 2 = AK * CK.

AK = BK ^ 2 / CK = (5 * √3) 2/5 = 15 cm.

Answer: The length of the AK segment is 15 cm.
