In a 30-60-90 triangle, what is the length of the hypotenuse when the shorter leg is 7 in?

It would be 14 because if you look at a picture of the 30-60-90 triangle the short side is labeled with the variable x and the hypotenuse is labeled 2x. We know that the shorter leg is 7, so 2 multiplied by 7 is 14:)
