Question 919540: what if the short side of a 30 60 90 triangle has a radical?

The long side of a 30 60 90 triangle is twice as long as the short side,
so if there is no way to write the measure of the short side without a square root,
then there is no way to write the measure of the long side without a square root.
On the other hand,
maybe the measure of the medium length side will be an integer.
