Fill in the blanks. In the 30-60-90 triangle below, side s has a length of ___________ and the hypotenuse has a length of ____________.
hint : the proportion sides a 30-60-90 right triangle is 1:sqrt(3):2
I still don't understand
according ur diagram the length of side infront angle 30 is 1, so to get the length of side infront angle 60 just multiply by sqrt(3)
also, to get the length of side infront angle 90 just multiply by 2
therefore, s = 1 * sqrt(3) = ... h = 1 * 2 = ...
so the answer is either B or E
i never said use sqrt(2)
so them it is either C or D
see pic
thank you
Notice that this a right-angled triangle. Thus, h^2 = s^2 + 1 Now, we need to check and see which of the given answers fit this criteria. The only ones which do are A and D. For A), s = 1 However, if we have two sides of the same length, we should have a isosceles triangle, meaning that two of the angles are the same. However, this is not the case here. Hence, the only possible answer is D, s = sqrt(3) and h = 2
