Right triangle ABC has an area of 32^3 cm^2. The measure of <A=30, and the measure of <B=90. What is the length of BC, AB, and AC? Express all answers in simplest radical form.

the ratio of sides for the 30-60-90 triangle are

1 : √3 : 2

so let AB = √3 x
BC = x
AC = 2x

area = (1/2)(√3 x)(x) = 32^3 = 32768
x^2 = 65536/√3
x = 256/√(√3)

I will let you do the substitutions

To find the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC, we will use the given information about the angles and the area of the triangle.

1. We know that the area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height.

2. In a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle (90 degrees) is called the hypotenuse. Let's label this side as AC.

3. Since angle A is given as 30 degrees, AB is the shorter side adjacent to angle A.

4. Using trigonometric ratios, we can find the relationship between the angle and the lengths of the sides of a right triangle:

- sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
- cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

In our case:
- sin(30) = AB/AC
- cos(30) = BC/AC

5. To find AB, we can rearrange the equation sin(30) = AB/AC:

AB = sin(30) * AC

6. Similarly, rearranging the equation cos(30) = BC/AC, we can find BC:

BC = cos(30) * AC

7. Now, let's substitute the values into the equations:

AB = sin(30) * AC = (1/2) * AC

BC = cos(30) * AC = (√3/2) * AC

8. The area of the triangle is given as 32^3 cm^2. We can use the area formula to solve for the height (AC):

Area = (1/2) * AB * AC
32^3 = (1/2) * (1/2) * AC * AC
32^3 = 1/4 * AC^2
4 * 32^3 = AC^2
AC^2 = 4 * 32^3
AC = √(4 * 32^3) = 8 * 32^(3/2)

9. Now, substitute AC back into the equations for AB and BC:

AB = (1/2) * AC = (1/2) * 8 * 32^(3/2) = 4 * 32^(3/2)

BC = (√3/2) * AC = (√3/2) * 8 * 32^(3/2) = 8√3 * 32^(3/2)

Therefore, the lengths of the sides are:

AB = 4 * 32^(3/2) cm
BC = 8√3 * 32^(3/2) cm
AC = 8 * 32^(3/2) cm
