In a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, the length of the shortest leg is s, what is the length of the hypotenuse????? 2s square root of 6 square root of 3 s2

OpenStudy (radar):

ratios of a 30−60−90 right triangle are 1:3√:2 for short side: long side : hypotenuse (courtesy of bycycle)

OpenStudy (radar):

It did not copy correctly: \[1:\sqrt{3}:2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the hypotenuse is 2 and the long side is a square root is 3?

OpenStudy (radar):

If the shortest side is s (and they say it is) then the hypotenuse would be ?

OpenStudy (radar):

It will be in terms of s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s2

OpenStudy (radar):

No, 2s s2 is likes s squared.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok I get it. Since you have to find the length, s is given so then you square root 2

OpenStudy (radar):

I admit that 2s and s2 look like they could be same, but the s2 is a lazy way of saying\[s ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (radar):

The first answer is sayin two s and that is the correct answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks
