. Draw yourself a 30-60-90 right triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 1 unit. Then the short leg is one-half of the hypotenuse and using the Pythagorean Theorem you can calculate for yourself that the long leg is . Since \ =\ \text{\frac{OPP}{HYP}})
and you chose the hypotenuse to have a measure of 1 unit, \ =\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})
.
