Priya says, "I know everything about a right triangle with a 30 degree angle and a hypotenuse with length 1 cm. Here, look." The other angle is 60 degrees. The leg adjacent to the 30 degree angle is 0.866 cm long. The side opposite the 30 degree angle is 0.5 cm long. Han asks, "What would happen if a right triangle with a 30 degree angle has a hypotenuse that is 2 cm instead?" Help them find the missing angles and side lengths in the new triangle. Explain or show your reasoning. (not using sine or cosine symbols, just geometry symbols)
