Answer»

LetAbe the area of the right triangle andbbe one of the sides containing the right angle.

Letxbe the length of the other leg us observe the following figure.

Area of a triangle isA=1/2*b*XThus is X=2A/bApply Pythagoras theoremHypotenuse=√b^2+x^2=√b^2+(2A/b)^2=1/b√b^4+4A^2Area of triangle A=1/2*hypotenuse*hhenceH=2Ab/√b^4+4A^2
