Suppose the short leg is $\"a\"$ , where $\"a\"$
\n" ); document.write( "can be any number. The short leg will be opposite
\n" ); document.write( "the 30 degree angle.
\n" ); document.write( "To find the length of the side opposite the 60
\n" ); document.write( "degree angle, use the ratio:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2Fsqrt%283%29++=+a%2F%28a%2Asqrt%283%29%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+a%2Asqrt%283%29+\"$ is the answer
\n" ); document.write( "for the length opposite the 90 degree angle use:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2F2+=+a%2F%282a%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2a+\"$ is the answer \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
