Question

This is for a 30 60 90 triangle that has only given me the long leg which is 3 i need to find the hypotnuse. please help

Answer 1

Can you create a diagram or upload a picture of the triangle to clarify?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

it just says what i wrote

Answer 4

it does give the third number which is 3

Answer 5

I'll have to infer what the picture might look like then:


We can use the law of sines, which states that each side over the sin of their angle is constant throughout the triangle, so:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ \sin 60 } = \frac{ n }{ \sin 90} so n=3(\sin 90)/(\sin 60) \approx 3.464\]

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

so the hypotenuse would be 3.464

Answer 8

do you have any choises ?

Answer 9

no choices it just gives me the third number which is 3

Answer 10

so what mean the third number is 3 ?

Answer 11

Yes, I solved for the hypotenuse, which is n.

Answer 12

its a drag and drop online question for my class and well it just gives me the number 3
