You can put this solution on YOUR website! DE is half of the hypotenuse or 7 sqrt (3). It is because it is a 30-60-90 right triangle, which is the only kind where one of the angles is half the other.
-
DE is 7*1.73= 12.21
-
DF is the short leg * sqrt (3)=21
-
it is a 7 sqrt(3)//21//14 sqrt(3) right triangle or squaring each, 147+441=196*3=588

AGAIN, 2 scenarios exist.
1) ∡s E, D, and F can be 90o, 45o, and 45o, respectively.
2) ∡s E, D, and F can ALSO be 60o, 90o, and 30o, respectively.
This triangle can therefore be a 45-45-90 special triangle, or one of the 30-60-90 variety, since DE and DF can EACH have 2 different lengths.
