Question 1185237

Find the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle if its

hypotenuse is 2√3.
<pre>For a 30-60-90 triangle, the LONGER LEG'S measure, using the hypotenuse's measure, is found by merely MULTIPLYING the HYPOTENUSE by {{{sqrt(3)/2}}}.
Therefore, in this case, {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,13, LONGER, LEG, "=", Hypotenuse * (sqrt(3)/2), "=", 2sqrt(3) * (sqrt(3)/2), "=", 2sqrt(9)/2, "=", 2(3)/2, "=", 3, units))}}}

That's ALL!! This is NOT that COMPLICATED, at all!

**Note: If you don't know the above, then you need to read up on it.
And, while you're at it, look up how to find the measures of the sides of 45-45-90 triangles.</pre>
