To find: the length of the hypotenuse and the longer leg.
Answer to Problem 6CYU
The length of longer leg is 15.6 ft and the hypotenuse is 18 ft.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Length of shorter leg = 9 feet
Calculation:
The objective of the question is to find the missing measure ( x ) in the given right angled
In a right angled triangle with angle measures of 30°,60° & 90° and smaller leg equal to a . The longer leg is given by
In the current problem, the triangle is a 30°-60°-90°triangle with smaller leg being equal to 9 ft.
The hypotenuse will be equal to
Thus, the hypotenuse is 18 ft.
The longer leg is given by
Conclusion:
The length of longer leg is 15.6 ft and the hypotenuse is 18 ft.
