Find the length of the short leg of a 30-60-90 triangle if the long leg is 3cm

Short leg = √3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angle of long leg is 60°

hypotenuse : x

sin 60° = 3/x = √3 / 2

x = (3 x 2) / √3 = 2√3

short leg length (s)

Cos 60° = 1/2 = s / x = s / 2√3

s = √3

boxplot e is the answer

-3.5 degrees per hour

step-by-step explanation:

find the unit rate:

-12   1/4 degrees           12.25 degrees

= - = -3.5 degrees per hour

      3   1/2 hours               3.5 hours
