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;
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
