Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 5

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
5/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
5 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
5√3/3
= 2.886751345948
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 *
5√3/3

Hypotenuse length =
10√3/3
= 5.773502691896
