A 30°–60°–90° triangle has a hypotenuse with a length of 18.

What is the length of the shorter leg of the triangle?

2 answers

sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio of

1 : √3 : 2

so x : ? : 18 = 1 : √3 : 2
x/1 = 18/2
x = 9
The shorter leg of 30-60-90 degree triangle is 6. What is the hypotenuse?
