Question

Given the following Information, find the length of the missing side. Leave your answer as a simplified radical.

Hypotenuse = 10
Long = ?

A. 5
B. 5/3
C. 10
D. 10/3

Answer 1

Answer: B. (5√3)

Step-by-step explanation: In a 60-30-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x, and the long is x√3. Solve for x by setting 2x=10, which you would get 5. Then, you can plug 5 for x in x√3 to get 5√3.
