Answer 11

How do I find that?

Answer 12

hold on

Answer 13

kk do take your time

Answer 14

look at the left one

Answer 15

okay sweet, so it's 30-60-90, and then from there we can know the side length?

Answer 16

yeah just so u know the answer is not 3

Answer 17

that helps us get there

Answer 18

but do u know how to get the hypotenuse

Answer 19

from knowing the 3, I think the hypotenuse is the 6 because of the pythagoreum (spelling) theorum

Answer 20

only thing I'm confused on is finding the length of the second side

Answer 21

yes but if you look at the pic it shows how to get the shorter side

Answer 22

because 3 to the sqrt 3 makes the longer side you take away the sqrt 3 and you get left with what?

Answer 23

3

Answer 24

Oh I get it !!! Thank you!!!

Answer 25

ok you can use that pic for more of those problems if you have more

Answer 26

and then you multiply the shorter leg by 2 to get the hypotenuse

Answer 27

yes I surely will. Thank you for your help
