Answer:

D)16

Step-by-step explanation

we are given a 30-60-90 triangle and the longer side of the triangle

remember the properties of 30-60-90 triangle

  • the hypotenuse is twice as much as the shorter leg
  • the longer leg is the square root of 3 times shorter leg

as we are given the longer leg we'll use the second property

let the shorter leg be x

so our equation is


\displaystyle x√(3)=16√(3)

divide both sides by √3:


\displaystyle (x√(3))/(√(3))=(16√(3))/(√(3))


\displaystyle x=16

hence,

the length of the shorter leg is 16
