Answer:
A.The longer leg is √3 times as long as the shorter
B. The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg
Step-by-step explanation:
The 30-60-90 is a special triangle with two acute angles 30° and 60°
The side across from the 30°= shorter leg
The side across from 60°=longer leg
The side across from 90°=hypotenuse
If we take the shorter side to be x and hypotenuse to be 2x then the longer leg will be;
Apply Pythagorean relationship
a² + b² =c²
c²-a²=b² where-----------c=2x and a=x
(2x)² - x² = b²
4x² - x² =b²
3x² = b²
√3x²=b
x√3 =b
Hence longer leg is √3 times longer than the shorter leg which is x and the hypothenuse 2x is twice the shorter leg which is x
