Question

It says on top that the image is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

D; Both statements are correct

Here, we want to check the correct statement

Basically from the diagram, it is confirmed that what we have is a 30-60-90 triangle

Now, for a 30-60-90 degrees triangle, the side lengths are in a particular ratio

From the diagram, MO faces the right angle and thus, it is the longest side and the hypotenuse

Now, let us take a look at the ratio of the sides in both submissions

For a 30-60-90 degrees triangle, the ratio of the sides is;

`1\colon\sqrt[]{3}\text{ :2}`

Hence, one side must be twice the length of the other

From Kellie's statement we can see MO is twice NO

From Eddie's statement, we can also see that MO is twice NO

Lastly, we can also see in both that dividing MN by NO yields the root of 3 in both statemets which confirms the existence of the theoretical ratio

So the conclusion here is that;

Both students are correct
