Question

i need help with ratios of special triangles i was able to teach myself how to do the short leg and hyp but i cant figure out how to do the long leg on a 60 30 90

Answer 1

the hypotenuse is equal to twice the length of the shorter leg, which is the side across from the 30 degree angle. the longer leg, which is across from the 60 degree angle, is equal to multiplying the shorter leg by the square root of 3. so quite basically, hypotenuse = short leg square root, long leg = short leg squared :3 ( ex: short leg is 2 , 2^2 = 4, 2^3= 6 )
