This video tutorial explains how to find the missing legs of a 30-60-90 triangle when given the hypotenuse. It details the relationship between the hypotenuse and the short leg, showing that the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg. To find the short leg, divide the hypotenuse by two. The tutorial then explains how to calculate the long leg by multiplying the short leg by the square root of 3. This method helps determine the missing lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle.
