Question

Find the lengths the missing side

Answer 1

Answer:

• Long leg = 10√3
• Short leg = 10
• Hypotenuse = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of a special triangle 30-60-90.

A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist.

The ratio between the corresponding side of each angle is 1 : √3 : 2

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

30-60-90 ⇔ 1 : √3 : 2

Given the side corresponding to 90° is 20

30° : 90° = 1 : 2

30° : 20 = 1 : 2

30° = 10

30° : 60° = 1 : √3

10 : 60° = 1 : √3

60° = 10√3

Hope this helps!! :)
