This is a 30-60-60 triangle. Can you find the side lengths?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

I was think the answer was 10?

OpenStudy (aveline):

Nope. Remember, the hypotenuse is always the longest side. Therefore, the legs can not be longer than 8. This means that A and C are incorrect

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

huh ok then what would I do next?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

6?

OpenStudy (aveline):

You're just guessing aren't you?

OpenStudy (aveline):

The side across from 30 degrees is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

no its closet to what I think since 3 + 3 is 6

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ya closet

OpenStudy (aveline):

A closet is a room where clothing is stored.

OpenStudy (aveline):

The side across from 30 degrees is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (aveline):

YES!
