Question

In the 30-60-90 triangle below, side s has a length of _ and side q has a length of _.

Answer 1

Answer: F

Explanation:

For a 30-60-90 triangle, we know that the hypotenuse is 2x. Since we know the hypotenuse is 10, we can solve for x.

2x=10

x=5

Now that we know x is 5, we can use this to solve for s and q. The side across from 30° is just x. Since we know x, s is 5.

The side across from 60° is x√3. Since we know what x is, we can just plug in. q is 5√3.
