Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse? Check all that apply.

A2: 3 sqrt 3
Bsqrt 2: sqrt 3
Csqrt 3: 2

D: 1: sqrt 2

E: 3: 1 sqrt 2

F: 2: 2 sqrt 2

Verified Answer :

Answer:  The answer is (C) \(\sqrt3:2.\)

Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question, a right-angled triangle ABC is drawn in the attached figure, where

∠A = 30°, ∠B = 90° and ∠C = 60°.

The longest leg is AB, AC is the hypotenuse and BC is the shortest leg.

To find :- AB : AC.

We have from the right-angled triangle ABC,

\(\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{p}{h}=\sin 60^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow AB:AC=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow AB:AC=\sqrt3:2.\)

Thus, the correct option is (C).
