Answer 6

It is easier than you think.

Answer 7

For any right triangle:
The two sides that form the right angle are the legs.
The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.

For a 45-45-90 triangle:
The two legs are congruent.
The hypotenuse is \(\sqrt 2\) times the length of a leg.

For a 30-60-90 triangle:
The short leg is opposite the 30-deg angle.
The long leg is opposite the 60-deg angle.
The hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.
The long leg is \(\sqrt 3\) times the length of the short leg.

Answer 8

I'll be back in around 15-20 min.

Answer 9

Ohhh thank you I think I understand it better

Answer 10

Now look at your problem.
You are given a 30-60-90 triangle.
You are also given the length of one side.
Which side are you given a length for?
The short leg, the long leg, or the hypotenuse?
