First notice that the triangle with sides 
and the triangle with sides 
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides 
in the smaller triangle is clearly 
, while the angle between sides 
in the larger triangle is clearly 
. So the triangles are similar with sides corresponding to 
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is 
, then the length of the longer leg is 
and the hypotenuse has length 
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that 
, so 
Now both triangles are
Since
