Say A is a point of intersection of a perpendicular to X axis from point P.
Therefore, triangle PAO is right triangle.
Apply Pythagorean theorem: PA^2 + AO^2 = PO^2
That is, 1^2+Root3^2= PO^2
PO^2 = 4 => PO = 2
Alternatively you should have realized the ratio of the sides PA:AO = 1:Root 3 and realized it was a 30:60:90 triangle right away.
So measure of angle POA is 30 degrees.
Therefore angle QOx is 180-(angle POQ + angle POA) = 180-90-30=60 degrees.
Say B is a point of intersection of a perpendicular to X axis from point Q.
Therefore, triangle QOB is 30:60:90 triangle with angle OQB = 30 degrees.
Length of the smallest side of a 30:60:90 triangle is half that of the largest side. Thus s = 1.
