Question

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the long leg is 60, what is the short leg

Answer 1

In any 30-60-90 triangle, the shortest leg is across from the 30° angle, the length of the hypotenuse is always double the length of the shortest leg.

Answer 2

The shorter leg, which is opposite to the 30- degree angle, is labeled as x. The hypotenuse, which is opposite to the 90-degree angle, is twice the shorter leg length (2x). The longer leg, which is opposite to the 60-degree angle, is equal to the shorter leg's product and the square root of three (x√3).
