The height of a right-angled triangle with an acute angle a, drawn to the hypotenuse, equals h. Find the hypotenuse of the triangle.

| Since CH is the height of the triangle ABC, the triangles AСН and BCH are rectangular.
Then in a right-angled triangle ACC, tgα = CH / AН.
AH = h / tgα.
In the ACN triangle, the ACН angle = (90 – α) 0.
Then in the right-angled triangle СВН the angle BCH = (90 – (90 – α)) = α0.
In a right-angled triangle BCH, tgα = BH / CH.
BH = h * tgα.
Then AB = h / tgα + h * tgα = h * (ctgα + tgα) = h * (Cosα / Sinα + Sinα / Cosα) = h * ((Cos2α + Sin2α) / Cosα * Sinα) = h / (Cosα * Sinα).
Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is = h / (Cosα * Sinα).
