In a $30 ^ { \circ } - 60 ^ { \circ }$ triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long in length as the side opposite the $30 ^ { \circ }$ angle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a $30 ^ { \circ } - 60 ^ { \circ }$ triangle, the side opposite the $30 ^ { \circ }$ angle is half the length of the hypotenuse. This is a well-known property of the special right triangle. Therefore, if the hypotenuse is twice as long as the side opposite the $30 ^ { \circ }$ angle, then the side opposite the $30 ^ { \circ }$ angle is half the length of the hypotenuse, which agrees with the property. Therefore, the statement is true.
