Question

Find the length of the shorter leg in the triangle pictured below

x=6
x=24
X=12
X=12 square root 3
X=36

Answer 1

b. x=24

Explanation:

There are special formulas for finding the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle. The hypotenuse is always equal to 2a and the long leg is always equal to
`a√(3)`.

Since side a is given already as 12. We can substitute 12 for a.

2(12) = 24

Answer 2

Here is the answer X=36
