1. **Problem statement:** We have a right triangle with a right angle, a side of length 10 opposite a 60° angle, and another side of length $2\sqrt{3}$. We need to find the lengths of sides $a$ and $b$. 2. **Identify the triangle type and sides:** The triangle has a right angle, and one angle is 60°, so the other non-right angle is 30° (since angles sum to 180°). 3. **Recall the 30°-60°-90° triangle side ratios:** The sides opposite 30°, 60°, and 90° angles are in the ratio $1 : \sqrt{3} : 2$ respectively. 4. **Assign sides based on the given lengths:** The side opposite 60° is given as 10, so this corresponds to the side with length $\sqrt{3}k = 10$ where $k$ is the scale factor. 5. **Find the scale factor $k$:** $$\sqrt{3}k = 10 \implies k = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}$$ 6. **Find side $a$ (opposite 30°):** $$a = k = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}$$ 7. **Find side $b$ (hypotenuse, opposite 90°):** $$b = 2k = 2 \times \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{20\sqrt{3}}{3}$$ 8. **Check given side $2\sqrt{3}$:** This matches side adjacent to the right angle, which should be $a$ or $b$ depending on orientation. Since $a$ is opposite 30°, and $b$ is hypotenuse, the side $2\sqrt{3}$ corresponds to $a$ or $b$? Given the problem, $2\sqrt{3}$ is the vertical side, so it should be $a$. 9. **Compare $a$ with $2\sqrt{3}$:** $$a = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3} \approx 5.77 \neq 2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.46$$ 10. **Reconsider the assignment:** The side $2\sqrt{3}$ is given as the vertical side, so it corresponds to side $a$ or $b$? Since the right angle is between bottom and left sides, and left side is $2\sqrt{3}$, this is side $a$. 11. **Use $a = 2\sqrt{3}$ to find $k$:** $$a = k = 2\sqrt{3}$$ 12. **Find $b$ and side opposite 60°:** $$b = 2k = 2 \times 2\sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3}$$ Side opposite 60° is $\sqrt{3}k = \sqrt{3} \times 2\sqrt{3} = 2 \times 3 = 6$$ 13. **Given top side is 10, but calculated side opposite 60° is 6, so the side labeled 10 is not opposite 60°, but adjacent. So the side labeled 10 is $b$. 14. **Set $b = 10$ to find $k$:** $$b = 2k = 10 \implies k = 5$$ 15. **Find $a$ and side opposite 60° with $k=5$:** $$a = k = 5$$ $$\text{side opposite } 60^\circ = \sqrt{3}k = 5\sqrt{3}$$ 16. **Check if $2\sqrt{3}$ matches any side:** $2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.46$, which is not equal to $a=5$ or $5\sqrt{3} \approx 8.66$. 17. **Conclusion:** The side labeled $2\sqrt{3}$ is given, so the triangle sides are $a=2\sqrt{3}$, $b=10$, and the side opposite 60° is $5\sqrt{3}$. **Final answers:** - Length of $a$ is $2\sqrt{3}$. - Length of $b$ is $10$.
