Find the length of the longer leg of a 30°-60°-90° triangle with a hypotenuse of 6 in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ratio of the sides of a right triangle are: 1 (short leg) 2 (hypotenuse) √3 (longer leg) Using ratios: hypotenuse / longer leg = hypotenuse / longer leg 2 / √3 = 6 / x Cross multiply: 2x = 6√3 x = 3√3 Using a calculator, that is about 5.2 inches.

3in. 2\[\sqrt{3}\] 3\[\sqrt{3}\] 6\[\sqrt{3}\]
