Answer:
[tex]s=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In any 30-60-90 triangles, the sides are in ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
In the given diagram, the hypotenuse is marked as 12 miles. Therefore, the side opposite to the 30 degree angle must be [tex]12 \div 2=6[/tex] miles. The final leg, [tex]s[/tex], must then represent the [tex]x\sqrt{3}[/tex] part of our ratio, hence [tex]\implies \boxed{6\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
