It may be of any length but it is always the longest side in a right-angled triangle.

The short leg is equal to one-half of the hypotenuse. ( sin 30 = opposite/hypotenuse = short leg/hypotenuse = 1/2)
The hypotenuse of a 30-60 right triangle if the short leg is 2992 is: 5984
No because the hypotenuse is used to show which line is the longest in the triangle therefore it will always be the longest.
When considering an angle in a right angled triangle, the adjacent is the short side next to the angle and the hypotenuse is the long one (which will be opposite the right angle)
The longer leg is square root of 3 bigger than the short leg. That is because sin 30 = 1/2 = short/hypotenuse; cos 30 = long/hypotenuse = (sqrt 3)/2
