Answer:

A. √3 : 2

D. 3√3 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle described as 30°-60°-90° triangle, the base angles are 90° and 60°

The side with angles 90° and 60° is the shortest leg and can be represented by 1 unit

The hypotenuse side is assigned a value twice the shorter leg value, which is 2 units

From Pythagorean relationship; the square of the hypotenuse side subtract the square of the shorter leg gives the square of the longer side

This is to say if;

The given the shorter leg = 1 unit

The hypotenuse is twice the shorter leg= 2 units

The longer leg is square-root of the difference between the square of the hypotenuse and that of the shorter leg

=2^2-1^2\\\\=4-1=3\\\\\\b^2=3\\\\\\b=\sqrt{3}

where the longer leg is represented by side b in the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse by c and the shorter leg by a to make;

a^2+b^2=c^2

<u>Hence the summary is</u>

a=shorter leg= 1 unit

b=longer leg = √3 units

c=hypotenuse=2 units

The ratio of longer leg to its hypotenuse is

=√3:2⇒ answer option A

This is the same as 3√3:6 ⇒answer option D because you can divide both sides of the ratio expression by 3 and get option A

=3\sqrt{3} :6\\\\\\\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{3} :\frac{6}{3} \\\\\\=\sqrt{3} :2

Answers are :option A and D

A high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms a cost of $3000 after soccer season They return some of the uniforms
natita [175]
To calculate the price per uniform you have to divide $3000 by 40 uniforms, which equals $75. When some of the uniforms were returned the department received $40 per uniform. To calculate the difference you subtract $40 from $75, which equals $35.
