You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You cannot tell what the measure of both sides are just given the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5E2%2BB%5E2=3.2%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can choose one and calculate the other.
\n" ); document.write( "If I choose A, then
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=sqrt%283.2%5E2-A%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "For example,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=sqrt%2810.24-1%29=3.04\"
\n" ); document.write( "and if
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=sqrt%2810.24-4%29=2.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "So you have to choose one and solve for the other, you can't solve for both.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
