B. 3 √3
The shortcuts for a 30 60 90 triangle is that the:
Hypotenuse is 2 times the short leg
The long leg is √3 times the short leg.
Making it 3 √3
Another way is by the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+b^2=6^2
9+b^2=36
Subtract 9 from both sides
b^2=27
Square root both sides
b=5.2 or the √27
√27 can be simplified more
An equation that equals to 27 that has a perfect square is 9*3
√9* √3
The perfect square of 9 equals to 3
So 3 √3
