One angle of a right triangle measures 60°. The side opposite this angle measures 9 inches.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?
Enter your answer, in simplest radical form, in the box.
I got (6 sqrt3) but I am not sure its right :(
We have a 30-60-90 right triangle
The hypotenuse = 2/√3 times the side opposite the 60° angle
So
9 * 2 /√3 = 18/√3 = 18√3 / 3 = 6√3
You are correct !!!
thanks so much!!!
