How do you solve for the short leg, long leg, and hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle?


Rate This Answer

Hypotenuse If you know the short leg, multiply by 2 to get the hypotenuse and multiply by sqrt(3) to get the long leg. If you know the hypotenuse, divide by 2 to find the short leg, and if you know the long leg, divide by sqrt(3) to find the short leg.
