The hypotenuse is twice as long as length as the shorter leg.

The longer leg is
√(3) times as long as the shorter leg.

Explanation:

Definition:

A 30-60-90 triangle is commonly a right angle triangle whose sides are in proportion
1 : √(3) : 2

then;

the length of hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg and the length of the longer leg is
√(3) times the length of the shorter leg.

As per the statement:

We have to find the statements that are true about a 30-60-90 triangle.

By definition of 30-60-90 triangle;
