Question

Given BC= 34, which of the following is equal to the value of AC ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

a 30-60-90 triangle is a special triangle where the sides of the triangle have a special relationship with one another. The length of the sides are as follows:

AC = a

BC = 2a

AB =
`a * √(3)`

Since we are given that BC = 34, we can say that 34 = 2a. To solve for a, we divide both sides by 2:

`(34)/(2) = (2a)/(2)`

`17 = a`

Since we know that AC = a, we have solved the problem.

AC = 17
