Select the correct answer.
The shortest side of a right triangle measures 3√3 inches. One angle of the triangle measures 60°. What is the length, in inches, of the hypotenuse of the triangle?
○ 6√2
○ 3
○ 6√3
○ 6

Answer

Answer: 6

Explanation: In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2. The shortest side (opposite the 30° angle) is given as 3√3 inches. Therefore, the hypotenuse (opposite the 90° angle) is twice the shortest side, which is 6 inches.
