The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:
KL = 2*JL; JK = (√3)JL; and JK = ((√3)/2)KL
Explanation:
This is a 30-60-90 right triangle. This type of triangle has a special relationship among the sides. Let the smallest side, across from the 30° angle, be t. This means JL = t.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is two times the length of the smallest side; this means that KL = 2t, which means that KL = 2*JL.
The side of the triangle opposite the 60° angle will be the "medium sized" side; it is equal to √3 times the smallest side, or √3t; this gives us that JK = √3t = (√3)JL.
Comparing JK to KL, we have
The t on top and bottom cancel out, leaving us with the ratio (√3)/2. This means that JK = ((√3)/2)KL.
