Answer:

D. m =
√(3), n = 1

Explanation:

The triangle given is a 30-60-90 triangle. This means that the longer side of the leg is
x√(3) (m), the shorter side of the leg is x (n), and the hypotenuse is 2x.

The hypotenuse is already given as 2, and since the hypotenuse is 2x, to find the shorter side (n), just divide by 2, giving you n = 1.

Now onto the longer side (m); it's represented by
x√(3), and since x is just 1, all you do is put x in front of
√(3).

But in this case, x is just 1, so it's like "imaginary," and doesn't need to be written out.
