Find all sides of a right angled triangle from given hypotenuse and area

Find all sides of a right angled triangle:

Given hypotenuse and area of a right angle triangle, get its base and height and if any triangle with given hypotenuse and area is not possible, print not possible.

Examples:

Input  : hypotenuse = 5,	area = 6
Output : base = 3, height = 4
Input : hypotenuse = 5, area = 7 
Output : No triangle possible with above specification.

We can use a property of right angle triangle for solving this problem, which can be stated as follows,

A right angle triangle with fixed hypotenuse attains
maximum area, when it is isosceles i.e. both height
and base becomes equal so if hypotenuse if H, then 
by pythagorean theorem,
Base2 + Height2 = H2
For maximum area both base and height should be equal, 
b2 + b2 = H2
b = sqrt(H2/2)
Above is the length of base at which triangle attains
maximum area, given area must be less than this maximum
area, otherwise no such triangle will possible.

Now if given area is less than this maximum area, we can do a binary search for length of base, as increasing base will increases area, it is a monotonically increasing function where binary search can be applied easily.
In below code, a method is written for getting area of right angle triangle, recall that for right angle triangle area is ½*base*height and height can be calculated from base and hypotenuse using pythagorean theorem.

// C++ program to get right angle triangle, given
// hypotenuse and area of triangle
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//  limit for float comparison
#define eps 1e-6
// Utility method to get area of right angle triangle,
// given base and hypotenuse
double getArea(double base, double hypotenuse)
{
    double height = sqrt(hypotenuse*hypotenuse - base*base);
    return 0.5 * base * height;
}
// Prints base and height of triangle using hypotenuse
// and area information
void printRightAngleTriangle(int hypotenuse, int area)
{
    int hsquare = hypotenuse * hypotenuse;
    // maximum area will be obtained when base and height
    // are equal (= sqrt(h*h/2))
    double sideForMaxArea = sqrt(hsquare / 2.0);
    double maxArea = getArea(sideForMaxArea, hypotenuse);
    // if given area itself is larger than maxArea then no
    // solution is possible
    if (area > maxArea)
    {
        cout << "Not possiblen";
        return;
    }
    double low = 0.0;
    double high = sideForMaxArea;
    double base;
    // binary search for base
    while (abs(high - low) > eps)
    {
        base = (low + high) / 2.0;
        if (getArea(base, hypotenuse) >= area)
            high = base;
        else
            low = base;
    }
    // get height by pythagorean rule
    double height = sqrt(hsquare - base*base);
    cout << base << " " << height << endl;
}
// Driver code to test above methods
int main()
{
    int hypotenuse = 5;
    int area = 6;
    printRightAngleTriangle(hypotenuse, area);
    return 0;
}

Output:

3 4
