Answer:

Short leg = 10

Longer leg = 10
√(3)

Hypotenuse = 20

Explanation:

The given is a special right triangle, its angle measures are as follows:

30-60-90 and the side lengths will follow as:

x, x
√(3), 2x respectively.

The length of hypotenuse (sees angle measure 90) is represented with 2x and it's given as 20

We can conclude x = 10 from this

So the length of short leg is 10

Then the length of longer leg is 10
√(3)

The length of hypotenuse is already given as 20
