Let the bottom left vertex of the equilateral triangle be (0,0)

 

In a 30-60-90 right triangle, the side  opposite the right angle is [side opposite the 30° angle * 2 ] =  [6 *2] = 12  = side of equilateral triangle

 

The side of the the right triangle opposite the 60° angle is  [side opposite the 30° * √3 ] = [ 6√3 ]  = √108

 

 

So....the top right vertex of the right triangle  is   ( 12 , √108 )

 

So...the distance  that this vertex is  from ( 0 , 0)  is given by  :

 

√ [ 12^2  + (√108)^2  ]  =

 

√ [ 144 + 108  ]  =

 

√ [252]  =

 

√  [ 4 * 9 * 7 ] =

 

2*3 √7  =

 

6√7  units
