Which of the following are true statements about a 30-60-90 triangle?

Answer:
The correct options are A and E.
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle 30-60-90 means its a right angles triangle having interior angles 30, 60 and 90.
Let the shorter side be x.
[tex]\cos(60^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{AC}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{AC}[/tex]
[tex]AC=2x[/tex]
It means hypotenuse is twice long as the shorter leg. Option E is correct.
[tex]\sin(60^{\circ})=\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{BC}{2x}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times 2x=BC[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{3}x=BC[/tex]
It means the longer leg is √3 times as long as the shorter leg. Option A is correct.
Shorter leg = x
Longer leg =x√3
Hypotenuse = 2x
Therefore options A and E are correct.
The longer leg is √3 times as long as the shorter leg. The hypotenuse is twice as long as the longer leg.
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It is one of the most fundamental geometric forms.
A triangle with inner angles of 30, 60, and 90 is referred to as a right triangle.
Consider the shorter side to be x. The cos formula is;
[tex]\rm cos \theta = \frac{B}{H} \\\\ cos 60^0 = \frac{AB}{AC}\\\\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{AC} \\\\AC= 2x[/tex]
Checking for another option;
[tex]\rm sin \ 60^0 = \frac{P}{H} \\\\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{BC}{2x} \\\\ \frac{\sqrt 3 }{2} \times 2x = BC \\\\ BC = \sqrt 3 x[/tex]
The statement is got correct from the given option;
A.The longer leg is √3 times as long as the shorter leg.
E.The hypotenuse is twice as long as the longer leg.
Hence, the correct options are A and E.
