#"Case 1 : A Hypotenuse, " A_A = 3.07#

#"Case 1 : C Hypotenuse, " A_C = 2.57#

#"Case 1 : a is hypotenuse"

Applying Pythagoras Theorem,

#"Hypotenuse " a = sqrt(b^2 + c^2) = sqrt(1,83^2 + 3.35^2) = 3.82#

#"Area of Right " Delta = (1/2) * b * c = (1/2) * 1.83 * 3.35 ~~ 3.07#

#"Case 2 : c is hypotenuse"

Applying Pythagoras Theorem,

#a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2) = sqrt(3.35^2 - 1.83^2) = 2.81#

#"Area of Right " Delta = (1/2) * a * b = (1/2) * 2.81 * 1.83 ~~ 2.57#
