Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 72

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
72/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
72 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
72√3/3

Short Leg length = 24√3 = 41.569219381653
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 * 24√3
Hypotenuse length = 48√3 = 83.138438763306
