Question 1084025

In any 30-60-90 triangle, you see the following:

    The shortest leg is across from the 30-degree angle.

    The length of the hypotenuse is {{{always}}} {{{two}}}{{{ times}}} the length of the shortest leg.

so, in your case  the length of the hypotenuse is {{{highlight(2*16m =32m)}}}

    You can find the long leg by multiplying the short leg by the {{{sqrt(3)}}}.

the long leg is{{{16m *sqrt(3)}}}

check:

{{{32^2=16^2+(16sqrt(3))^2}}}

{{{1024=256+256*3}}}

{{{1024=256+768}}}

{{{1024=1024}}}
