Question #N92
In a right triangle, one angle measures 30 degrees and the hypotenuse has a length of 10. What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 10
Correct Answer is: C
In a 30-60-90 right triangle, the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half the length of the hypotenuse. Therefore, the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle is 10/2 = 5.
