    The sides of a 30°-60°-90° right triangle have the ratios ...

    1 : √3 : 2

    The shortest side is half the length of the hypotenuse, so is ...

    (25 ft) (12 in/ft) = 150 in

    The longer side is √3 times that length, so is about ...

    (150 in) √3 ≈ 259.808 in

    The legs of the triangle are 150 inches and about 260 inches.
