hypotenuse = 18/cos60 = 36
A hypotenuse should not be shorter than a leg length.
If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double the length of the shorter leg.
The hypotenuse is: 12
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 c= hypotenuse a and b are the legs (sides) of the triangle
hypotenuse = 18/cos60 = 36
If it is a 45-45-90 triangle, then divide the hypotenuse by the square root of 2. If it is a 30-60-90 triangle, then the shorter leg would be the hypotenuse divided by 2. And the longer leg would be the the shorter leg multiplied by the square root of 3.

A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 40 inches and a side of 8 inches has a leg length of 39.19 inches so the shorter leg IS 8 inches.
A hypotenuse should not be shorter than a leg length.
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
.The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg The longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg.
An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.
