Show a clear listing of what you know.
-
side 1, 4 cm, the height
side 2, x cm, unknown
side 3, h cm, the hypotenuse, unknown
p = perimeter, taken as known, maybe.
---- understand perimeter
----Pythagorean Theorem
You wanted h as a function of p. Maybe two ways to do it. Try to find a way to equate expressions for either , or . Then solve for h from that.
Note, I did not solve this; I only suggested a way to try.
