a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let c = hypotenuse = 2x

One of the legs = x. Let a or b = x.

I will let a = x. We can then say that b = 3.

3^2 + x^2 = (2x)^2

9 + x^2 = 4x^2

9 = 4x^2 - x^2

9 = 2x^2

9/2 = x^2

sqrt{9/2} = sqrt{x^2}

3/sqrt{2} = x

Rational denominator.

[3•sqrt{2}]/2 = x = a

Side 3 is given to be 3 feet. So, b = 3.

Hypotenuse = 2x

Hypotenuse = 2([3•sqrt{2}]/2)

Hypotenuse = 3•sqrt{2}

Understand?

The three sides are 3, [3•sqrt{2}]/2 and

3•sqrt{2}.
