Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle with one leg 19 cm and the other leg eight cm is: 20.62 cm
If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.
There is a famous theorem that you use to solve this problem, namely the Pythagorean theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the opposite sides. (The hypotenuse is the longest side; the other sides are commonly called legs.) If you know the hypotenuse and one leg you can find the other leg by simple algebra. Just subtract the square of the leg you know from the square of the hypotenuse and take the square root of this difference. Bingo! You have your answer.

Lymphedema does not mean cancer. It is known that patients who have had breast surgery removal due to cancer can have a case of lymphedema in the adjacent arm because of the interference or removal of lymph gland or node. To assist - I have lymphedema in legs, below my knees, calf, shin and into my feet for 44 years. This is not caused by a cancer, but over period of time continual swelling due to complications of circulation in the lymph veins or in my case not enough veins in the lower legs. This started at age 14 yrs in my right leg by 22yrs the left leg. It is best to get a doctors assessment to be sure of what is going on or happening if there is swelling. Hope this helps.
One would need to get lymphedema therapy if they were diagnosed with a fluid obstruction or tissue swelling. This must be done to alleviate the obstruction and prevent infection.
There are many places to get a lymphedema certification at online sites but one might question the authenticity of these programs. Start with the academy of lymphatic studies and research from there.
Lymphedema is treated using compression pumps and compression hosiery. The hosiery goes over the afflicted limb, and the pump pressurizes the hosiery. This compresses the limb, and causes the fluid that has built up in that region of the body to dissipate.Here's a link with more info on the subject:http://vitalitymedical.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/lymphedema-treatment/
