Answer: 7.5 cm; 1.6 cm

Explanation:

If that is a right triangle, it is probably a 30 60 90 triangle and we can use this special property to say that the leg facing the 30 degree angle is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse measures 15 cm, which means we can say that the leg facing the 30 degree angle is 7.5 cm. Next, since 21 cm is the sum of the 2 legs, we can add 21 cm to 15 cm to get 36 cm. Now that we know our hypotenuse, perimeter, and one of our legs, we can find the other leg by using basic algebra to get 1.6 cm. Hopefully this helps! I'm not sure tho.
