Question

Triangle ABC has side lengths: V6, V2, and 2/2 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

90°, 60°, and 30°

60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC has side lengths √6, √2, and 2√2 units.

It is clear that the triangle ABC is right triangle because (2√2)² = (√6)² + (√2)² that means the side lengths satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem.

Now, if the angle between hypotenuse (2√2 units) and base (√2 units) is $\theta$, then

$\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2\sqrt{2} } = \frac{1}{2}$

Hence, $\theta$ = 60°

Therefore, the three angles of the triangle are 90°, 60°, and 30°.

Now, if the base of the triangle is 16 units, then other two side lengths will also change proportionally to remain the triangle a right triangle.

And in that case the base angle will remain 60°. (Answer)
