  1. Well whenever you have shape problem i would recommend that you draw the problem out

    thats all of got sorry




  2. 30 degrees.

    If one leg is exactly half the hypotenuse, that triangle is a 30/60/90 "special triangle."  The angle opposite the "half" side is always 30 degrees.

    B

    |\<~30 degrees

    | .\

    |. . \   <~6

    |___\

    A  3 .C

  3. The angle B is opposite side AC, and the angle A is the right angle (opposite the hypotenuse).

    You know the lengths of the "opposite" (AC) and the "hypotenuse" (BC).

    The definition of sine is opposite/hypotenuse.

    Set up the ratio:

    sin B = opp/hyp

    Substitute what you know:

    sin B = 3/6

    sin B = 1/2

    Use a chart, or a calculator, or your knowledge of 30-60-90 triangles. (Arcsin is sine's inverse...on a calculator it might be sin^-1)

    arcsin(sin B) = arcsin(1/2)

    B = 30 degrees

    Hope that helps!
