Answer 1

@dude

Answer 2

This problem is regarding the rules of Special Right Triangles. Do you remember them?

Answer 3

I think so

Answer 4

Can you list the rules for me?

Answer 5

Let me know if you don't know them

Answer 6

1st one is that one triangle is a 90-degree triangle?

Answer 7

And the hypotenuse will always be across the top

Answer 8

Whenever there is a box in the angle of a triangle, it means that it is 90 degrees. The hypotenuse is also the side that is opposite to the 90 degree angle.

Answer 9

30 - 60 - 90 Triangle Rule



45 - 45 - 90 Triangle Rule

Answer 10

So x = ??

Answer 11

Look at triangle RST. What is the 'x' of that triangle?

Answer 12

We know that it is a 30-60-90 triangle, so what side is that 60 angle looking at?

Answer 13

2?

Answer 14

Correct.

\[60 degrees \rightarrow x \sqrt3\]
\[60 degrees \rightarrow 2 \sqrt 3\]

The x of angle RST is 2. Now, how does that help us solve for the x of QRT?

Answer 15

Okie, thanks. And just quickly, am I right? http://prntscr.com/iqa7lk

Answer 16

Last one

Answer 17

Hold on we didn't answer this one yet. Look at the side that both the triangles share.

The 30 - 60 - 90 rule says that the hypotenuse is 2x. Therefore we know that that the hypotenuse has a length of 4. The 45-45-90 rule says that both of its legs are x. Since the side is the same, we know that x for QRT is 4, since both the eggs are the same length.

Answer 18

eggs, lol. *legs

Answer 19

Oh so its 4 okie

Answer 20

How about that last one?

Answer 21

That is correct.

Answer 22

Answer 23

Passed, thank you

Answer 24
