First you're going to need to know some more information. Let's say the short leg of the triangle is 4 inches.
To find the long leg you would use the formula:
short leg * the square root of 3= long leg
therefore the long leg would equal 4*the square root of 3 inches
If you want to find the length of the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle, or the diagonal) you would multiply the short leg by 2
short leg*2=hypotenuse
therefore the hypotenuse is 8 inches
so the side lengths would be:
short leg: 4 in, long leg: 4*squrt of 3 in, and hypotenuse: 8 in

How do you find the measure of an acute angle if you only have the short leg and the long leg of a right triangle in trigometry?
Using trigonometry: tangent = opposite/adjacent
One leg of a right triangle is 1 ft long and the hypotenuse measures 2 ft long Find the length of the other leg?
sqrt(3) = 1.732 (rounded)
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 m long One leg is 1 m longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg Round to the nearest hundredth?
The shortest leg is 3.72 m long.
What length of a leg of a right triangle if the other leg is 8 feet long and the hypotenuse is 10 feet long.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for right angle triangles then the other leg is 6 feet long
How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is 11 and one leg is 8 How long is the other leg?
In a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 11 and one leg of 8, the other leg is: 7.55
How do you find the measure of an acute angle if you only have the short leg and the long leg of a right triangle in trigometry?
Using trigonometry: tangent = opposite/adjacent
One leg of a right triangle is 1 ft long and the hypotenuse measures 2 ft long Find the length of the other leg?
sqrt(3) = 1.732 (rounded)
A right triangle has one leg that is 6 yards long and one leg that is 8 yards long How long is the triangle hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse is 10 yards long.
How long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 14.14?
Each leg works out as 9.998489886 to comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
How do you find x in a right triangle?
That depends on what x is: a leg, an angle, what?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 m long One leg is 1 m longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg Round to the nearest hundredth?
The shortest leg is 3.72 m long.
One leg of a right triangle is 5 cm long The hypotenuse is 13 cm long What is the length of the second leg of the triangle Round to the nearest tenth?
12 cm
What is Hypotenuse Leg?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What length of a leg of a right triangle if the other leg is 8 feet long and the hypotenuse is 10 feet long.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for right angle triangles then the other leg is 6 feet long
One leg of a right triangle measure 6 and the other leg measure 8 How long is the hypotenuse?
10
How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
