HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (danjs):

the other leg will always be square root 3 times , in 30-60-90 triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it be A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This question look pretty hard lol.

OpenStudy (danjs):

right

OpenStudy (danjs):

If the shorter leg (opposite the 30 angle) is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the longer leg is x*root 3

OpenStudy (danjs):

30-60-90 triangles are a special case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 root 3? woah lol

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, thats it

OpenStudy (danjs):

and the hypotenuse is 2*8

OpenStudy (danjs):

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse x : (root 3)x : 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it now, this question was pretty confusing.

OpenStudy (danjs):

not any more...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I have A for my answer.

OpenStudy (danjs):

yes

OpenStudy (danjs):

The other special case is 45-45-90 Side : side : hypotenuse x : x : (root 2)*x

OpenStudy (danjs):

sides are the same, and the hypotenuse is root 2 times the side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's cool, your so smart.

OpenStudy (danjs):

just have seen it before, now you know it too!
