A right triangle has one angle measuring 30° and a side length of 4 cm opposite the 30° angle. Find the length of the hypotenuse. a) 4 cm b) 8 cm c) 12 cm d) 16 cm The right triangle with one angle measuring 30° must have the other acute angle measuring 60° (because it's a right triangle). This is a 30-60-90 triangle. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the length of the side opposite the 30° angle. Let "a" be the length of the side opposite the 30° angle and "c" be the length of the hypotenuse. Then, the hypotenuse (c) = 2a. We are given the length of side a as 4 cm: c = 2 * 4 cm c = 8 cm 2 / 5 2. Given a right triangle with angles A = 90°, B = β, and C = γ, and side lengths a, b, and c, if sin(β) = a/c and cos(γ) = a/c, what type of right triangle is it? a) 30-60-90 b) 4/3/2005 c) 45-45-90 d) None of the above Since sin(β) = a/c and cos(γ) = a/c, we can conclude that sin(β) = cos(γ). This implies β and γ are complementary angles, which means: β = 90° - γ Given that A = 90°, we have a 45-45-90 right triangle. 3 / 5 3. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side opposite the 60° angle measures 14 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse? a) 14√3 cm b) 28 cm c) 14√2 cm d) 28/√3 cm In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse (c) is twice the length of the side opposite the 30° angle (a). The side opposite the 60° angle (b) is √3 times the length of the side opposite the 30° angle: b = a√3 We are given the side length opposite the 60° angle as 14 cm: 14 cm = a√3 Divide both sides by √3: a = 14/√3 cm Now we can find the length of the hypotenuse: c = 2a = 2(14/√3) cm = 28/√3 cm 4 / 5 4. In a right triangle LMN, angle L = 90° and angle M = 45°. If the length of LN is 9 cm, find the length of side MN. a) 3√2 cm b) 6√2 cm c) 9 cm d) 18 cm Since triangle LMN is a right triangle with angle M = 45°, angle N must be 45° as well (because angle L is a right angle). The triangle LMN is, therefore, a 45-45-90 triangle. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the sides opposite both of the 45° angles are congruent, and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg. In this case, the side LN (opposite angle N) is 9 cm. Since the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, the side opposite angle M (MN) must also be 9 cm. 5 / 5 5. In a right triangle with hypotenuse length h and an angle of 30°, what is the ratio of the side opposite the 30° angle to the hypotenuse? a) 1/√2 b) √2/2 c) 1/2 d) 2 In a 30-60-90 right triangle, the side opposite the 30° angle is half the length of the hypotenuse. Thus, the ratio of the side opposite the 30° angle to the hypotenuse is 1/2. Your score is 0% Restart Quiz
