Short = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sides of a 30°-60°-90° right triangle is ...

1 : √3 : 2

That is, the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short side, and the long side is √3 times the length of the short side.

Then the short side is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse.

For the given triangle, Short = (1/2) * 10 = 5.

Using the technique in the model above, find the missing sides in this 30°-60°-90° right triangle. Hypotenuse = 10 Short =A-5 B-5 C-√3 D-20
