The hypotenuse of a 30 – 60-90 right triangle measure 15in. What are the lengths of the longer leg and shorter leg?

We know that a 30-60-90 triangle has certain properties based on one way they are constructed. In particular the shortest side is half the length of the longest and it is root(3) times as long as the shortest side so... 
%0D%0Aa=15%2F2%0D%0A in 

%0D%0Ab=sqrt%283%29%2F2+%2A+15 in
