the length of a small leg of a 30 degree, -60 degree, -90 degree triangle is 3. what is the perimeter of the triangle.

1 answer:

4 0

Did you mean "small" or did you mean "shortest?"

Let's assume that the shortest side has length 3. This would be opposite the 30 degree angle. We can form and solve an equation of ratios to solve this problem. Since this is a 30-60-90 degree triangle, the perimeter could be 1x + sqrt(3)x + 2x. 1x is the shortest side, so 1x = 3, and x=3.

Then the perimeter, 1x + sqrt(3)x + 2x, would be 3 + 3sqrt(3) + 6,
or
3(sqrt(3)+2).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the legs of a 30-60-90 triangle are 1 and $\sqrt{3}$ , while the hypotenuse is 2.

the ratio of the legs is therefore 1 : $\sqrt{3}$ → C

Find value of y and x

Vika [28.1K]

Since the triangle is isosceles the measure of angle B is also 47.
since you have dropped a perpendicular bisector the measure of angle x is 90. and since the angles must add to 180 you get 47+47+a=180 and a= 86. since y is half this we have y is 43

if you like my answer please rate as brainliest! thx

mr Goodwill [35]

2,400
20% of 3,000= 600
3,000 - 600= 2,400
