Question

ive been staring at this for a good 20 minutes any help?

Answer 1

Since one angle is a right angle (90 degrees), and the other known angle is 30 degrees, the third angle measures 60 degrees.

Answer 2

A 30-60-90 degree triangle has well-known ratios of the lengths of the sides:

Answer 3

Look at the drawing above.
In any 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.
The long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.

Answer 4

In your example, you are given that one side measures 16*sqrt(3).
Which side is that, the short leg, long leg, or the hypotenuse?

Answer 5

30 , 60, and 90 are angle measures. We are now dealing with the lengths of the sides. The given length in your triangle, 16*sqrt(3) is the length of the short leg, long leg, or the hypotenuse?

Answer 6

No.
The legs are the sides that form the right angle. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.
