1230-60-90 triangle sides

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle the hypotenuse is 12. Find the lengths of the other two sides. Give the answer to 2 decimal places.

The sides are 6.00 and 10.39, with the hypotenuse 12. In a 30-60-90 triangle the sides go 1 : √3 : 2, so the short side is 12/2 = 6.00 and the longer leg is 6×√3 ≈ 10.39. Check: 6² + 10.39² ≈ 144 = 12² ✓.
