Question

I need help finding the missing side length with the answer in radicals in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There’s nothing hard with this

You need to know special right triangles

This is a 30,60, 90 triangle

We automatically know becuase theres. Right angle (90) and a 60 degree angle

now the formula is the smallest side is (n) {I’m using N becuase theres already an X) or in this case, 6

The hypotenuse, the one directly above the 2nd biggest side, or the diagnoal side is 2n or (12). Now we know what X is in this situation which is 12. So that narrows it to 2 answers

Now the side on the bottom of the hypotenuse, the second biggest side is used in the formula N$\sqrt{3}$. So we know what N is in the beginning, 6 so we just plug that in and well get C. Attached is a photo on q 30, 60, 90 special right triangle
