Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 12

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
12/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
12 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
12√3/3

Short Leg length = 4√3 = 6.928203230276
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 * 4√3
Hypotenuse length = 8√3 = 13.856406460551
