This is a classic 30-60-90 triangle hence the sides will be in proportion of 1:\(\sqrt{3}\):2
AB : BC : AC = 1:\(\sqrt{3}\):2
With this we will get x = 2
Qt A
AC = 2x = 4
Qt B = Qt A
Answer C
AB : BC : AC = 1:\(\sqrt{3}\):2
With this we will get x = 2
Qt A
AC = 2x = 4
Qt B = Qt A
Answer C

A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
In \(30-60-90\) Right triangle the sides are in ratio \(x : \sqrt{3}x : 2x\)
We have been given \(\sqrt{3}x = 2\sqrt{3}\)
i.e. \(x = 2\)
So, \(AC = 2x = 4\)
\(Col. A: 4\)
\(Col. B: 4\)
Hence, option C
