Answer:

30

Explanation:

This is a 30 60 90 triangle. Since it tells us it a right triangle (which means it has a 90 degree angle). Also it tells us that there is a 30 degree. Using the triangle interior theorem, the third angle is a 60 degree

angle

The longest side or hypotenuse is twice the length of the shortest side. So the hypotunes is 30.
