How do you find the short leg of a 30-60-90 triangle? Thx!?
I know how to find the long leg and the hypotenuse I just need the short leg. :)

If you have the hypotenuse, the short leg is half of that.
For example, if the hypotenuse is 10, the short leg is 5.
If the hypotenuse is 2, the short leg is 1.
Got it?

or, think about the legs opposite of an angle as corresponding to said angle.... therefore, the leg opposite the 30 degree angle is smallest, then the one opposite of the 60 degree one, and the one opposite the 90 is largest.
...i think.
it's been a while since i took geo... lol
