So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.
Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:
17 × 2 = 34
Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:
17 × √3 = 17√3
<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - 3 , thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (7, 8) into the partial equation
8 = - 21 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 21 = 29
y = - 3x + 29 → A
The answer for x is
x = 1.2
