OpenStudy (danjs):

do you recall the ratio of the sides in the 30 60 90 triangle?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehe

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

^ notice above recall short is just x once you get "x" you pretty much get the others

OpenStudy (danjs):

Short Leg : Long Leg : Hypotenuse x : root3*x : 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (danjs):

If the short leg is 7, Long leg = root3*7 hypotenuse = 2*7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 radical 3?

OpenStudy (danjs):

The ratio of the sides of a 30 - 60 -90 triangle are Short Leg - Long leg - hypotenuse \[x~~~ :~~~ \sqrt{3}*x~~~:~~~2x\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

They gave you the short leg, x=7 so the triangle has sides Short - long - hypotenuse \[7~~~:~~~7\sqrt{3}~~~:~~~14\]
