If a right triangle has one 30 degree angle and the shortest side is 6, what is the hypotenuse

Answer:

The 30-60-90 degree triangle is in the shape of half an equilateral triangle, cut straight down the middle along its altitude. It has angles of 30°, 60°, and 90°. In any 30-60-90 triangle, you see the following: The shortest leg is across from the 30-degree angle, the length of the hypotenuse is always double the length of the shortest leg, you can find the long leg by multiplying the short leg by the square root of 3.

Note: The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle, which is different from the long leg. The long leg is the leg opposite the 60-degree angle.

Two of the most common right triangles are 30-60-90 and the 45-45-90 degree triangles. All 30-60-90 triangles, have sides with the same basic ratio. If you look at the 30–60–90-degree triangle in radians, it translates to the following:

30, 60, and 90 degrees expressed in radians.

A 30-60-90-degree right triangle.

If you know one side of a 30-60-90 triangle, you can find the other two by using shortcuts. Here are the three situations you come across when doing these calculations:

Type 1: You know the short leg (the side across from the 30-degree angle). Double its length to find the hypotenuse. You can multiply the short side by the square root of 3 to find the long leg.

Type 2: You know the hypotenuse. Divide the hypotenuse by 2 to find the short side. Multiply this answer by the square root of 3 to find the long leg.

Type 3: You know the long leg (the side across from the 60-degree angle). Divide this side by the square root of 3 to find the short side. Double that figure to find the hypotenuse.

Finding the other sides of a 30-60-90 triangle when you know the hypotenuse.

In the triangle TRI in this figure, the hypotenuse is 14 inches long; how long are the other sides?

Because you have the hypotenuse TR = 14, you can divide by 2 to get the short side: RI = 7. Now you multiply this length by the square root of 3 to get the long side:

The long side of a 30-60-90-degree triangle.

A ray is a line that has a begining point, but no end point
 a ray is 1 dimentional, it only goes one direction, left and right

a plane is 2 dimentional and extends indefinitely
it goes left and right and up and down


think of it like this

you have a piece of paper with no height
you draw a line starting at a point on the paper and it goes infinitely in the other direction

the paper is a plane, the line on it that has a starting point is the ray

If a x 10^n is scientific notation, then a must be between 1 and
Yanka [14]

Answer:

  A)  10

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, a number in scientific notation will have a mantissa (a) such that ...

  1 ≤ a < 10

That is, the value of "a" must be between 1 and 10 (not including 10).

_____

<em>Comment on alternatives</em>

In other places or in particular applications (some computer programming languages), the standard form of the number may be a×10^n with ...

  0.1 ≤ a < 1

In engineering use, the form of the number is often chosen so that "n" is a multiple of 3, and "a" is in the range ...

  1 ≤ a < 1000

This makes it easier to identify and use the appropriate standard SI prefix: nano-, micro-, milli-, kilo-, mega-, giga-, and so on.
