### Solving for the Missing Side in a Right Triangle

In the problem below, you are given a right triangle DEF. You are tasked with solving for the missing side \( d \). Please leave your answers in simplified radical form or rounded to the nearest hundredth.

#### Problem Statement

**Solve for the missing side in the right triangle below. Leave answers in simplified radical form or round to the nearest hundredth.**

#### Diagram
There is a right triangle DEF with:
- Angle D = 30°
- DE = \( f \) (hypotenuse)
- DF = 3 inches (adjacent side)
- EF = \( d \) (opposite side to angle D)

```plaintext

    D |______F
       3 in
```

#### Question
**Side length \( d \) = _______**

#### Multiple-Choice Answers
- \( \sqrt{3} \)
- \( 2\sqrt{3} \)
- \( \frac{20}{\sqrt{7}} \)
- \( \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \)

Choose the correct option based on your calculation.

---

### Steps to Solve:
1. Identify the relationship between the given sides and the angle.
2. Apply trigonometric identities as needed (e.g., sine, cosine, or tangent).
3. Simplify your answer based on the given choice forms or round as necessary.

Good luck!
