Question 816233: If the hypotenuse of a 30–60–90 triangle has length meters, what is the length of the longer leg of the triangle in meters? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the hypotenuse of a 30–60–90 triangle has length ?? meters, what is the length of the longer leg of the triangle in meters?
------
The ratio of the sides is x:2x:sqrt(3)x where 2x is the hypotenuse.
------
If hypotenuse = ??, the shortest side is (1/2)??
----
And the length of the longer side is (sqrt(3))(1/2)?? = (1/2)(sqrt(3)(??)
