One of the corners of a right-angled triangle = 60 degrees, and the difference between the hypotenuse

One of the corners of a right-angled triangle = 60 degrees, and the difference between the hypotenuse and the smaller of the legs = 23cm. Find the hypotenuse.

Since, by condition, the angle ACB = 600, then the angle BAC = 90 – 60 = 30.

Let the leg BC = X cm, then the hypotenuse AC = X + 23 cm.

The leg BC lies against an angle of 300, then AC = 2 * BC.

X + 23 = 2 * X.

X = BC = 23 cm.

Then AC = 2 * 23 = 46 cm.

Answer: The length of the AC hypotenuse is 46 cm.
