How can we find two sides of the right angle triangle, if we only know its hypotenuse and area?

Answer 1

1/2 b * h = area

hypotenuse^2 = b^2 + h^2

The hypotenuse and area are given so those 2 values can be substituted.

This results in 2 equations in 2 unknowns: b and h

The 2 equations can be solved to give h and b using substitution or elimination method.
