Question

In a 30-30-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 38, what is the length of the shortest side

Answer 1

Answer:

AB is shortest side

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given question circuit represented as,

From the images

$cos 30^0=\frac{BC}{38} \\0.86=\frac{BC}{38} \\BC=32.68 cm$

Now,

$sin 30^0=\frac{AB}{38} \\0.5=\frac{AB}{38} \\AB=19 cm$

Therefore, AB is shortest side
