Question

The longer leg of a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 16sqrt3. How long is the shorter leg?

Answer 1

\[16\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 2

@dude @Vocaloid

Answer 3

If they gave you the long leg as \(16\sqrt{3}\) then the short leg is just the number in front of the sqrt3

Answer 4

sin 30° = 1/2

so

1/2 = AB / 16sqrt3

AB = 16sqrt3/2

AB = 8sqrt3

Answer 5

@dude is this correct ?

Answer 6

@Vocaloid your opinion please about this ? thank you

Answer 7

Yeah, that’s much easier and I don’t think eviant has learned triangle trig

Answer 8
