Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

law of sine

c/sin(C) = b/sin(B) = a/sin(A)

with the sides and corresponding angles being always opposite.

sin(90) = 1

sin(30) = 0.5

c, the Hypotenuse, is the longest side in such a right-angled triangle.

c/1 = b/0.5

b = c×0.5 = c/2

so, one side has to be half the length of the longest side (Hypotenuse).

the only answer meeting that criteria is A.

the longest side is 10×sqrt(3) = 17.32...

the side half of that is 5×sqrt(3).

and Pythagoras for such a triangle is then

c² = (c/2)² + a²

c² = c²/4 + a²

so, a² = 3c²/4

c² = c²/4 + 3c²/4

therefore we can check also the third side

15² = 3×(5×sqrt(3))² = 3×25×3 = 3×75 = 225 = 15²

correct.

A is such a triangle.

Triangle ABC has vertices of A(–8 ,8), B(6, 2), and C(–2, 1). Find the length of the median from C in triangle ABC
babunello [35]
The length of the median from vertex C is equal to √17.  As a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a single vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle. In this case, the median will be from vertex C to the mid-point of the triangles side AB.<span> Thus, we can work out the length of the median from vertex C by using the Midpoint formula; M(AB) = (X</span>∨1 + X∨2) /2 ; (Y∨1 + Y∨2) /2 . Giving us the points of the midpoint of side AB, which can be plotted on the cartesian plane. to find the length of the median from vertex C, we can use the distance formula and the coordinates of the midpoint and vertex C , d = √(X∨2 - X∨1) ∧2 + (Y∨2 - Y∨1)∧2.
