Hypotenuse² = ( I side )² + ( II side )²
=> ( q )² = ( p )² + ( II side )²
=> q² - p² = ( II side )²

Given ∆ is a right angled - triangle,
Hence, By Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse = q cm
One side = p cm
Second side = ?
Applying Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse² = base² + height²
q² = p² + height²
q² - p² = height²
Third side is √[ q²- p² ] cm
Hence, By Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse = q cm
One side = p cm
Second side = ?
Applying Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse² = base² + height²
q² = p² + height²
q² - p² = height²
Third side is √[ q²- p² ] cm
