    side opposite to 30° is half the hypotenuse.

    12.5 = 1/2 hypotenuse

    hypotenuse = 12.5 × 2 = 25 m

    -------------

    I assume you meant to write 30 degree angle. In any 30 - 60 - 90 right triangle the ratio of the sides is

    Opposite 30 degree = 1

    Opposite 60 degree = squareroot(3)

    Opposite 90 degree = 2

    Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 12.5 * 2 = 25

    Assuming that you mean a 30-degree angle, the hypotenuse is 25.0 meters.

    (A 30-60-90 right triangle can result from bisecting an equilateral triangle. The short side is equivalent to half the side of the original equilateral triangle, and the hypotenuse is a side of it.)

    30 deg angle?

    the hypotenuse = 2* 12.5 = 25 m

    you cant have a 300 degree angle in a right-angled triangle, as all angles must add up to 180degrees in a triangle...
