<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The shorter leg is 2\sqrt{3} inches

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The 30°-60°-90° is a special type of right-angled triangles

<u>It has the following special side length:</u>

The length of the side opposite to the 30° is \frac{1}{2} the length of the hypotenuse

The length of the side opposite to the 60° is \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} of the hypotenuse

<u>Now, we know that</u> the lengths of the sides in a triangle are proportional to the angles

<u>This means that</u> the shortest side will be the one opposite to the smallest angles

In our case, the shortest side will be the one opposite to the 30° angle

We are given that the hypotenuse of the triangle is 4\sqrt{3} in

<u>From the above:</u>

Shorter leg = leg opposite to 30° = \frac{1}{2} * hypotenuse = \frac{1}{2} * 4\sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{2} inches

Hope this helps :)

Bigger to smaller I think...

take the smaller length divide by the larger length

13) Circle O is shown with point A, B, C, and D on Circle O.
sladkih [1.3K]

The value of y is 50

The angle measurement of angle AOB is 100°

<h3>Circle Geometry </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of y and the measure of angle AOB

From one the circle theorems, we have that

Angles in the <u>same segment</u> are equal

In the given diagram, x° and y° are angles in the same segment

∴ x° = y°

From the given information,

x = 50

∴ y = 50

Hence, the value of y is 50

Also, from another circle theorem,

Angle at the <u>center</u> is twice the angle at the <u>circumference</u>

∴ ∠AOB = 2x° = 2y°

Then,

∠AOB = 2×50°

∠AOB = 100°

Hence, the angle measurement of angle AOB is 100°
