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

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.

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.
