Which is the 30o-60o-right triangle theorem? A. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as a leg if, and only if, the measure of the angle opposite that leg is 30o. B. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is three times as long as a leg if, and only if, the measure of the angle opposite that leg is 30o. C. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as a leg if, and only if, the measure of the angle opposite that leg is 60o. D. In an equilateral triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as a leg if, and only if, the measure of the angle opposite that leg is 30o.

Well we know that the triangle looks like this: |dw:1467814780249:dw|

pooja195 (pooja195):

it's a bit cut off :c eh whatever ;p

OpenStudy (_malice_):

:P

pooja195 (pooja195):

What can we infer about the short leg?

OpenStudy (_malice_):

That it's shorter than the longer one?

pooja195 (pooja195):

If I tool mali and made a triangle out of him/her

pooja195 (pooja195):

that was 30-60-90

pooja195 (pooja195):

And decided to take the longer leg and double it to make it the hypotenuse would I be correct?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Would you agree with this statement?

OpenStudy (_malice_):

No?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good if I took malice's shorter arm and doubled it would I be able to make the hypotenuse? |dw:1467815334457:dw|

OpenStudy (_malice_):

yes?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good where is the short leg located at?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Across which degree?

pooja195 (pooja195):

60 90 or 30

OpenStudy (_malice_):

90?
