A Quick Guide to the 30-60-90 Degree Triangle

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.

The figure illustrates the ratio of the sides for the 30-60-90-degree 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.

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.

Hai , you can use Pythagoras Theorem to find the length which is hypotenuse.

It will be 7^2 + 3^2 = 58

square root 58 and you will get 7.62

Hope this helps and i am sorry if my answer was wrong .

A ball is rolling in a circular path that has a radius of 10 inches as shown in
elena55 [62]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
[circumference]=2*pi*r
for r=10 in
[circumference]=2*pi*10-----> 62.8 in

if 360° (full circle) has a length of --------> 62.8 in

 54°------------------------------> X
x=54*62.8/360-----> x=9.42 in

the answer is 9.42 in

A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a ne
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all Americans who favor the new Green initiative is between 0.6290 and 0.6948.

b. If the sample size is changed, the confidence interval changes as the standard error depends on sample size.

About 90% percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of Americans who favor the Green initiative and about 10% percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.6619.

p=X/n=370/559=0.6619

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.6619*0.3381}{559}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0004}=0.02

The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.6449.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.6449 \cdot 0.02=0.0329

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619-0.0329=0.6290\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619+0.0329=0.6948

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.6290, 0.6948).
