Answer:
- short leg: x; long leg: 12; hypotenuse: y
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of the triangle can be read from the figure:
- short leg: x
- long leg: 12
- hypotenuse: y
The ratios tell you ...
long leg = x√3 = 12
x = 12/√3 = 4√3 . . . . . divide by √3. (same as multiply by (√3)/3)
2x = 2·4√3 = 8√3
Then the missing sides are ...
- short leg: 4√3
- long leg: 12
- hypotenuse: 8√3
