How do you find one leg of a right triangle if you have the hypotenuse and a leg?

You're supposed to know that in every right triangle,
(one leg)2 + (the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2 .
Subtract (one leg)2 from each side of this equation, and you'll have:
(the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2- (one leg)2
You know both of the numbers on the right side. Do you think you can
subtract them and figure out the number on the left side ?
