Missing lengths of a 30°-60°-90° Special Right Triangle given Long Leg length = 6

Short Leg length =
Long Leg length/√3

Short Leg length =
6/√3

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Short Leg length =
6 * √3/√3 * √3

Short Leg length =
6√3/3

Short Leg length = 2√3 = 3.464101615138
Hypotenuse length = 2 * Short Leg length
Hypotenuse length = 2 * 2√3
Hypotenuse length = 4√3 = 6.928203230276
