C.8√3

D. (8√3)/3

E. (16√3)/3

Answer 1

hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. so, what could be?

Answer 2

the side opposite to 60 degrees,will be longer than side opposite to 30 degrees.,and a theorem says,side opposite to 60 degrees is (root 3)/2 times the hypotenuse,so what's
(root 3)/2*16 ??

Answer 3

sorry about the bad writing

Answer 4

@hartann it's √3/32

Answer 5

what's next?

Answer 6

i meant
((root 3)/2)*16
which is 8root 3....option c
