Apply the 30º-60º-90º Triangle Theorem to find the length of the longer leg of a triangle if the length of the shorter leg is 5√3 inches.

Answer 1

• 15 inches

Explanation:

The ratio of sides in 30º-60º-90º triangle is:

• a : b : c = 1 : √3 : 2

If a is 5√3, the length of b is:

• b = a√3 = 5√3 *√3 = 5*3 = 15
