The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.
Pythagorean theorem
This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.
In this case:
but since:
the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:
