a 30-60-90 degree triangle has special known proportions
\n" ); document.write( "the shorter leg will be x/2 if the hypotenuse is x
\n" ); document.write( "and the longer leg will be sqrt(3)*x/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the hypotenuse is twice the shorter leg.
\n" ); document.write( "and the longer leg is sqrt(3) times the shorter leg
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
