In a 30-60-90 triangle, how many sides do you need to know in order to determine the remaining sides?

2
0
1
3

Additional comment

The length of one side is sufficient, but you do need to know which side it is. You cannot just say, for example, "one side is 5 units." Rather, you must say something like "the shortest side is 5 units", or "the side between the largest angles is 5 units" so its relation to the other sides is known.
