Question

Triangle PQR is a right triangle. If PQ=8, what is PR? RQ?

Answer 1

Depends on where the right angle is relative to the side PQ, and I think you need at least one more piece of information, a side length or another angle.

Answer 2

The triangle is 30-60-90

Answer 3

Yeah that was critical information lol :D

Answer 4

Hahah, sorry, I will make sure to post everything I know from now on. Also, would it be easier to just post a picture of the triangle or image itself along with my question?

Answer 5

That's a 1 : 2 : \(\sqrt{3}\) ratio triangle then

Answer 11

Haha yeah, seems much easier to understand the problem then, my problem is I always flip the picture around in my head and mess up the numbers

Answer 12

Remember this?
\[\huge a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

C = your PQ side, 8
