do you have an angle measure? (if it is an equilateral triangle all legs will be 8 but i don't think this applies in your case)

A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 40 inches and a side of 8 inches has a leg length of 39.19 inches so the shorter leg IS 8 inches.
the answer is 8
If 8 is a leg and 12 is the hypotenuse, the other leg is: 8.944
There are an infinite number of different right triangles, all with different leg lengths, that all have hypotenuses of 21. None of the pairs is integral. A few of them have leg lengths of: 1, sqrt(440) 2, sqrt(437) 3, sqrt(432) 4, sqrt(425) 5, sqrt(416) 6, sqrt(405) sqrt(41), 20 7, sqrt(392) 8, sqrt(377) 9, sqrt(360) 10, sqrt(341)
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse works out as 10 cm
