Question

which of the following could be the ration of the long leg in a 30-60-90 triangle to the hypotenuse?
A. sqrt3 : 2
B. 2 : 2sqrt2
C. sqrt2 : sqrt3
D. 1 : sqrt3
E. sqrt3 : sqrt3
F. 2sqrt3 : 4

Answer 1

ratio of the long leg to the hypotenuse is simply the sine of 60 degrees...

Answer 2

its not a answer choice

Answer 3

Of course it is, if you would only remember what the sine of 60 degrees is ^_^

Answer 4

idk what that is..

Answer 5

Look at the attachments.

The ratio is x* sqr(3) / (2x). What does that simplify to?

Answer 6

sqrt3 : 2

Answer 7

Correct.

Answer 8

but when i took this quiz the first time, i got it wrong. I know thats right, but its says to check all that apply so there has to be another right answer choice also. I have three times to take this quiz, and this is my second time retaking it, so if i get it wrong again will you help?

Answer 9

Just a second. I did not realize that multiple answers are allowed.

Answer 10

okay thanks, i think it might be F, right?

Answer 11

F. 2sqrt3 : 4 and this simplify to be the same expression. So, you have A AND F.

Answer 12

okay it was right. now i have to retake it a third time, and i got a question similar to this one wrong
