Answer 1

Hi, welcome to OpenStudy! :D

Answer 2

AIGHT

Answer 3

Do you know the relationship between sides of a 30-60-90 triangle?

Answer 4

here we can use trignometry to find the length...

Answer 6

the longe leg here will be opposite to the angle 60degree

Answer 7

exactly chopper...

Answer 8

Uhm. Chethus, I strongly disagree with you in all humble respect. The longest leg is across from 90.

Answer 9

The hypotenuse is 30, stated in your given question.
The hypotenuse in my picture is 2x.
Given that you can compare both triangles, you can say that
30=2x
So @Revoltz_Dreamz
What is your answer if your solve that equation?

Answer 10

how can that be buddy...we are already given the length of the hypotenuse....

Answer 11

@karatechopper ,

@chethus is correct

Answer 12

The longest leg. Not the longest side.

Answer 13

I'm a bit confused on what u mean as LEG

Answer 14

Answer 16

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH TERMS LOL. I THOUGHT A LEG WAS A SIDE. WELL IN ALL DUE RESPECT THEN CHETUS IS RIGHT

Answer 17

KarateChopper, are you feeling alright? xD

Answer 18

leg is just a term used in rite triangles...it symbolifies either of the sides except the hypo

Answer 19

sooo the answer?

Answer 20

So, if the hypotenuse is 30, then what are the values of the other legs?
