Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 24

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
24/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
24 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
24√3/3

Short Leg length = 8√3 = 13.856406460551
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 * 8√3
Hypotenuse length = 16√3 = 27.712812921102
