In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse i 6. What is the length of the shortest side?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length are given by:

[tex]x \\ \\ \frac{x}{2} \\ \\ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Where the longest side x, is the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is

[tex] \frac{x}{2} [/tex]

Since x=6 is the hypotenuse, the shortest side length is:

[tex] \frac{6}{2} = 3[/tex]
