Question

Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Remember this ratio for the 30-60-90 triangle. The sides are in the ratio:

1 : 2 : sqrt(3)

for (short leg) : (hypotenuse) : (long leg). That's almost as easy as 1-2-3, right?

Anyway, that makes (long leg)/(hypotenuse) = sqrt(3)/2. 30-60-90 triangles come up a lot, either directly or as half of an equilateral triangle, so this ratio is worth memorizing

Answer 2

so which ones are the answers? I still dont understand. :)

Answer 3

So its B and E right?
