In a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle, the ratios of the sides are as follows:

The side opposite the 30° angle (the shorter leg) is , the side opposite the 60° angle (the longer leg) is , and the hypotenuse is

We are given that the hypotenuse and we know that

If , then we can solve for by dividing both sides of the equation by :



The shorter leg

The longer leg
