This will be a 30-60-90 triangle. And artie is wrong

whats the answer?

anonymous · Answer

The relation between the hypotenuse and small leg is that the small leg is 1/2 of the hypotenuse. So the hypotenuse is $2\sqrt{3}$ and the small leg is $\sqrt{3}$. The leg we are looking for is the long leg, which is $$\large small~leg\sqrt{3}$$
