This triangle is half of an equilateral triangle. Based on how you described your triangle, the long leg is 7; ~~the hypotenuse should therefore be 2*7=14.~~

If the short leg is L, then hypotenuse is 2L.

Solve for ,... 2L.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let x = the length of the short leg Then the length of the hypotenuse is 2x, and we have this Pythagorean equation x^2 + 7^2 = (2x)^2 x^2 + 49 = 4x^2 49 = 3x^2 x^2 = x = = = = 4.04 (rounded). The hypotenuse is 2x = = = 8.08 (approximately). ANSWER

Solved, answered and explained.   //   And completed.

Ignore post by @josgarithmetic :   this person does not know Math
(although claims himself as a tutor).

        Claiming himself as a tutor does not mean to be a tutor.

After seeing my post, he started to copy from there . . .

I agree with Tutor @IKLEYN 100%. Some of the people in this forum are nothing but quasi-tutors, while others feel they know everything but actually know NOTHING at all.
How can this person not know that you can use the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle, by multiplying the longer leg by 2 and by to get the length of the hypotenuse, or: ?
Then again, he's one of those who doesn't know much about mathematics!
If one doesn't know that, he/she could also SIMPLY do the following: , with H being the length of the hypotenuse.
It's as SIMPLE as that!!
