In a 30°- 60°- 90° right triangle, the longer leg is cm. How long are the other two sides of the triangle leg 3 and 6√3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the problem does not make any sense...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ratio: 30:60:90 1:SR3:2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

longer leg is hypotenuse leg 3 i meant one of the shorter legs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, what's given? leg1 = leg2 = hypotenuse = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hypotenuse =9cm i gotta figure out shorter legs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, use what Tai said. that is pretty much standard on all 30 60 90 triangles as far as their sides are concerned.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the basic 30, 60 90 triangle has sides as shown in the diagram |dw:1335506027644:dw| just use multiples of the sides e.g. hypotuenuse = 10... multiply the other sides by 5
