1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with angles 30º, 60º, and 90º. The side opposite the 30º angle is given as $9\sqrt{3}$ mm, and we need to find the length $c$ opposite the 60º angle.
2. **Recall the properties of a 30º-60º-90º triangle:** The sides are in the ratio $1 : \sqrt{3} : 2$, where:
- The side opposite 30º is the shortest side (let's call it $x$).
- The side opposite 60º is $x\sqrt{3}$.
- The hypotenuse is $2x$.
3. **Identify the given side:** The side opposite 30º is $9\sqrt{3}$ mm, so:
$$x = 9\sqrt{3}$$
4. **Find the side opposite 60º:** Using the ratio, the side opposite 60º is:
$$c = x\sqrt{3} = 9\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$$
5. **Simplify the expression:**
$$c = 9 \times \cancel{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}} = 9 \times 3 = 27$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$c = 27 \text{ mm}$$
So, the length $c$ opposite the 60º angle is 27 millimeters.
