The radius of this circle is one unit.

Find the exact lengths of the legs in the right triangle if:

Sides a is twice as long as side b.

And Sides b is twice as long as side a.

Basically the hypotenuse of this triangle is 1 and we are trying to use the pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of side a and b according to the terms described above.
