A) KL= root 3 (JL)
B) KL= 2(JL)
C) JK= root 3 (JL)
D) JK= 2(JL)
E) JL= root 3/2 (KL)
F) JK= root 3/2 (KL)

Answer 1

Answer:

# Answer B is true ⇒ KL = 2(JL)

# Answer C is true ⇒ JK = √3(JL)

# Answer F is true ⇒ JK = √3/2(KL)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the ratio between the sides of the triangle

- In Δ JKL

∵ The measure of angle J is 90°

∴ KL is the hypotenuse

∵ The measure of angle K is 30°

∴ JL is the opposite side to angle 30°

∵ The measure of angle L is 60°

∴ JK is the opposite side to the angle 60°

- There is a fact in the triangle which has angles 30° , 60° , 90°

# The length of the side opposite to the angle of measure 30° is

  half the length of the hypotenuse

∵ KL is the hypotenuse

∵ JL is the opposite side to the angle of measure 30°

∴ JL = 1/2 KL  OR KL = 2 JL

# The length of the side opposite to the angle of measure 60° is

  √3 the length of the opposite side to the angle 30°

∵ JK is the opposite side to the angle of measure 60°

∵ JL is the opposite side to the angle of measure 30°

∴ JK = √3 JL

# The length of the side opposite to the angle of measure 60° is also

  half √3 the length of the hypotenuse

∵ JK is the opposite side to the angle of measure 60°

∵ KL is the hypotenuse

∴ JK = √3/2 KL

- From the relation above

# Answer B is true ⇒ KL = 2(JL)

# Answer C is true ⇒ JK = √3(JL)

# Answer F is true ⇒ JK = √3/2(KL)
