It is important to notice that side VP is the hypothenuse of the triangle, and VT is the adjacent leg to 30°.

To find VP, we just have to use the cosine function

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos 30=\frac{VT}{VP} \\ \cos 30=\frac{60}{VP} \\ VP=\frac{60}{\cos 30} \\ VP\approx69.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, VP is 69.3 inches long.
