In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the the side opposite 30 degrees has a length of 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Might Want to draw this and Its very long but Hope it helped :)

The sides are all of the same length - let's say a. The angles are all the same too, and since the angles must add up to 180∘, we conclude that the three angles in the equilateral triangle are equal to 180∘/3=60∘.

Now we do something sneaky. We draw a line all the way down from the top vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the bottom line.

This new line cuts our equilateral triangle in half. What are the angles in one half?

The angle at the bottom is 90∘.

One of the angles is the same as one of the angles in the original equilateral triangle, so it is 60∘.

So the third angle must be 180∘−90∘−60∘=30∘.

Now the hypotenuse of this new triangle is a, the side length of the equilateral triangle. And the length of the shortest side is a/2, since the line we drew cut the bottom line in half.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

9x
