In JKL, mJ = 90, mK = 30, and mL = 60. Which of the following statements about JKL are true?
2 answers:
The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:
KL = 2*JL; JK = (√3)JL; and JK = ((√3)/2)KL
Explanation:
This is a 30-60-90 right triangle. This type of triangle has a special relationship among the sides. Let the smallest side, across from the 30° angle, be t. This means JL = t.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is two times the length of the smallest side; this means that KL = 2t, which means that KL = 2*JL.
The side of the triangle opposite the 60° angle will be the "medium sized" side; it is equal to √3 times the smallest side, or √3t; this gives us that JK = √3t = (√3)JL.
Comparing JK to KL, we have
The t on top and bottom cancel out, leaving us with the ratio (√3)/2. This means that JK = ((√3)/2)KL.

Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
