There are two "special triangles" in geometry and trigonometry. They are the 30°-60°-90° right triangle that is half of an equilateral triangle, and the 45°-45°-90° isosceles right triangle that is half a square (cut by the diagonal).
The side ratios of these special triangles are relatively easy to remember. It is useful to memorize them.
__
For the isosceles right triangle, the side lengths are the same. The Pythagorean theorem tells you that if they are both 1, then the hypotenuse is ...
√(1²+1²) = √2
That is, the side lengths of the 45-45-90 triangle are in the ratio ...
1 : 1 : √2
__
For the triangle that is half an equilateral triangle, you know the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shortest side (since we got that short side by cutting a long side in half). Then the longer side can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
√(2²-1²) = √3
That is, the side lengths of the 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio ...
1 : √3 : 2
_____
In this problem, we're given the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle, so we know the short side of it (x) will be half that length:
x = (16√3)/2
x = 8√3
The hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle will be √3 times x, so will be ...
long side of small triangle = (√3)(8√3) = 24
The shorter sides of that 45-45-90 triangle will be this value divided by the square root of 2, so are ...
y = z = 24/√2
We can multiply this by (√2)/(√2) to "rationalize the denominator".
y = z = 12√2
