Answer:

  • h = (2/3)√3
  • b = 3√2

Explanation:

It is useful to remember the ratios between the side lengths of these special triangles.

30°-60°-90° ⇒ 1 : √3 : 2

45°-45°-90° ⇒ 1 : 1 : √2

__

h is the shortest side, and the given length is the intermediate side. This means ...

h/1 = 2/√3

h = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3 . . . . . . simplify, rationalize the denominator

__

b is the longest side, and the given length is the short side. This means ...

b/√2 = 3/1

b = 3√2 . . . . . multiply by √2
