Best Answer

A golden triangle is an isosceles triangle such that bisecting one of the equal angles produces a new triangle that is similar to the original. It can be shown that the original triangle must be 72-72-36 degrees.

Using trigonometry, or the similarity, it can be shown that the long sides were (1+Φ) times the shorter, where Φ is the golden ratio. So with the shorter side being 7 inches, the longer were 18.3 inches, approx.

How do you find the hypotenuse and longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle?

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.
