Answer: hypotenuse=16
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to know the concept of a special triangle 30-60-90. The corresponding ratio of each side is 1-√3-2. Basically means, the shortest side is 1, the other longer leg is √3, the hypotenuse is 2. You can also refer to the attachment below
For this question, given the shortest side is 8, and asked to find the hypotenuse.
Short side:hypotenuse=1:2
8:hypotenuse=1:2
hypotenuse=16
Hope this helps!! :)
