Answer:

  • 150 inches
  • 260 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
