Answer:

a = 15

b = 5(6 - √3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Construction to be done in the given figure → Drop a perpendicular line (DE) from D to line AB.

From ΔAED,

cos(60°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

              = [tex]\frac{AE}{AD}[/tex]

cos(60°) = [tex]\frac{AE}{10\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{AE}{10\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

AE = [tex]5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Since, b = AB - AE

b = (30 - 5√3)

b = 5(6 - √3)

By sine rule,

sin(60°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Oppositet side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{a}{10\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

a = [tex]\frac{30}{2}[/tex]

a = 15
