Question

1. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 6. What is the length of the shortest

side?
a. 2
b. 3
c. 3.12
d. 31/3
e, 6-3

Answer 1

b. 3

Explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the short side is ½ the hypotenuse [the long side is double the short side].

30°-60°-90° Triangles

x√3 → long side

x → short side

2x → hypotenuse

45°-45°-90° Triangles

x → two legs

x√2 → hypotenuse
