Question

In a 30-60-90 triangle if the short leg is 3 inches, what is the measure of the long leg and the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

the long leg is always \[\sqrt{3}\] and the hypotenus is always double the short leg

Answer 2

Okay, so 60√3?

Answer 3

\[3*\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 4

3 can't go into \[\sqrt{3}\] so it will be \[3\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 5

Okay so, then it turns into √6?

Answer 6

Wait, 9 XD

Answer 7

It stays like that because whole numbers and numbers under the radical don't combine

Answer 8

Oh okay, so then is that the long leg or the hypotenuse?

Answer 9

long leg

Answer 10

Wait, so it's the long leg, and the hypotenuse is double that right?

Answer 11

the hypotenus is double the short leg

Answer 12

so 3*2

Answer 13

Okay! Thanks :) Can you help me with one more?

Answer 14

sure

Answer 15

In a 45-45-90 triangle, if one leg is 10ft, what is the measure of the other leg and the hypotenuse?

Answer 16

in this triangle the legs are x, and the hypotenuse is \[x \sqrt{2}\]
