Question 922927: given only the area of a right triangle, what is the formula for determining possible solutions for side dimensions? Thanks Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a and b are the legs, then ab/2 = Area <--> ab = 2*Area. Then its hypotenuse c is c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2).
