Each right angle triangle has 3 sides known as the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides. The relationship between these 3 sides is as defined by pythagoras theorem which states that
a² + b² = c²
where a and b are the lengths of the opposite and adjacent sides (in no particular order) and c is the length of the hypotenuse side.
Given that the leg of a right triangle is 3 units and the hypotenuse is 4 units, it means that
a² + 3² = 4
where a is the length in units, of the other leg of the triangle
