In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is double the measure of the other acute angle. If the length of the shorter leg of the triangle is 3 cm, find the length of the hypotenuse.

An right angle has a 90 degree angle , plus it's acute right triangle so it's degrees are 30-60-90 . So to find the hypotenuse you multiply the short leg by two . So your hypotenuse is 6

In a right triangle where one angle is double the other, the angles are 30° and 60°. If the shorter leg is 3 cm, the hypotenuse is double that length, resulting in a hypotenuse measuring 6 cm.
