Note:
1. In the right angled triangle having 6 units as hypotenuse, assume side of square is the smallest side and all sides have values greater than 1 unit.
2. The values of lengths of sides can be decimals also. (Need not be natural numbers necessarily)

Given : In the right angled triangle having 6 units as hypotenuse, assume side of square is the smallest side and all sides have values greater than 1 unit.
To find : Area of Square
Solution:
Draw a Square Diagonal as shown in figure
Diagonal of Square form an angle of 45° with Side of Square
Comparing ΔABD & Δ ACB
∠A = ∠A ( Common)
∠B = ∠ C (45°)
=> ΔABD ≈ Δ ACB
=> AB/AC = AD/AB
=> AB² = AD * AC
=> AB² = 6 * (6 + 4)
=> AB² = 60
=> AB = √60 = 2√15
now Let say Side of Square = x
then √(6² - x² ) = AB - x
=> √(36 - x² ) = 2√15 - x
Squaring both sides
=> 36 - x² = 60 + x² - 4x√15
=> 2x² - 4x√15 + 24 = 0
=> x² - 2x√15 + 12 = 0
=> x = (2√15 ± √(60 - 48) )/2
=> x = √15 ± √3
=> x = 5.6 or 2.14
side of square is the smallest side
Hence taking x = 2.14
Area of Square = 2.14² = 4.58 sq unit
4.58 sq unit is the area of Square
