Answer:
d = 2ab /√( b² + 4a²)
Step-by-step explanation:
'a' is the area of a right triangle
'b' one of the sides containing the right angle
& Let c be another side containing the right angle
then Area = (1/2) * b * c = a
=> c = 2a/b
h be hypotenuse => h² = b² + c²
=> h² = b² + (2a/b)² = b² + 4a²/b²
=> h = √( b² + 4a²) / b
lengths of the altitude on the hypotenuse = d
Area of triangle = (1/2) * h * d = a
=> d = 2a/h
=> d = 2a / (√( b² + 4a²) / b)
=> d = 2ab /√( b² + 4a²)
