For a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in the following ratios
\n" ); document.write( "Side opposite 30 degree angle - \"1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Side opposite 60 degree angle - \"sqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Side opposite 90 degree angle - \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Given is the side opposite the 60 degee angle is \"5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%283%29+%2F+1+=+5+%2F+a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+5+%2F+sqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%283%29+%2F+2+=+5+%2F+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+10+%2F+sqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The short leg is \"5%2Fsqrt%283%29\" and the hypotenuse is
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+%2F+sqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
