The longer leg of a 30°-60°-90° triangle measures 9 inches What is the length of the shorter leg? OA. 6 inches OB. 3/2 inches OC. 673 inches OD. 313 inches Reset Next Question

option c is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the rule regarding the sides of triangle is:

(length of longest side)^2 = square of sum of other two sides.

the sides given are:

6, 10 and 8.

applying the rule we will get:

(10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)^2

100 = 36+64

100 = 100

so, her answer is incorrect.

no, she should have added 6^2 and 8^2 and compared that to 10^2.

so, option c is correct.
