You can put this solution on YOUR website! explain how you can use the length of the shorter leg of a 30,60,90 degrees triangle to find the lengths of the other two sides?
-----------------
sin(30) = 1/2 so the hypotenuse = 2 times the shorter leg
------
Then you can use Pythagoras (or sin(60)) to find the 3rd side
