30. Using the picture, find the value of a and b.
### Question 30/36

#### Use the picture below

The provided diagram is of a right-angled triangle with the following details:

1. The right angle is positioned at the bottom left corner of the triangle.
2. The horizontal leg, which is opposite to the 30° angle, is labeled as \( 4\sqrt{3} \).
3. The vertical leg is labeled as \( a \).
4. The hypotenuse, which is opposite to the 90° right angle, is labeled as \( b \).
5. The angle adjacent to the vertical leg and opposite the hypotenuse is labeled as 60°.
6. Consequently, the other non-right angle is 30°.

### Part A

(NOTE: Continuation of the question and specific tasks related to Part A should be filled in accordingly based on the original query or problem being addressed on the educational website.)

This setup is typically used to explore properties of 30°-60° right triangles, aiding in the understanding and application of trigonometric ratios and Pythagorean theorem.
