The ratio of the short side to the long side in a 30 60 90 triangle is 1 : 2
So, if short side = 18, hypotenuse = 36
So, if short side = 18, hypotenuse = 36
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter leg of a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 18
The common ratio of 30°-60°-90° triangle is x : xsqrt(3):2x
Short leg = x
Long leg = [tex]x\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Hypotenuse = 2x
Given short leg = x that is 18, x= 18
WE know hypotenuse is 2x
Hypotenuse = 2x= 2(18)= 36
The length of the hypotenuse = 36
