Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse, in a 30
-60
-90
triangle the length of the shorter leg is 8 units?

Answer 1

Since the ratios of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triange are

`1:sqrt{3}:2`

by multiplying by `8`,

`=>8:8sqrt{3}:16`

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is `16`.
