Question

What does X equal in the special right triangle ?

Answer 1

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the opposite sides occur in a 1-sqrt(3)-2 ratio. This means the side opposite the right angle occurs in a ratio of
`\frac2{\sqrt3}:1` with the longer leg. So the hypotenuse has length


`x=14*\frac2{\sqrt3}=(28)/(\sqrt3)`
