Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 18

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
18/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
18 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
18√3/3

Short Leg length = 6√3 = 10.392304845413
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 * 6√3
Hypotenuse length = 12√3 = 20.784609690827
