The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle is 10. Find the length of the two legs.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "The side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of the hypotenuse, or 5
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras to find the 3rd side:
\n" ); document.write( "10^2 = 5^2 + x^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 100-25
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 75
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5*sqrt(3)
