What are the dimensions of the largest 30 - 60- 90 degrees triangle that will fit inside a 45 - 45 - 90 degrees triangle with leg length 14 in. ? Sketch the Solution.

So you have the two main angular triangles right? |dw:1365554737645:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh right, lol ok i get u so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, wats next??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could do it through ratios i suspect. However you need to consider the fact that the 30 degree angle must sit inside one of the 45 degree angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

terenz do you want to take over?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ive got to go somewhere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
