There is a right triangle ABC. Square XBYZ is inscribed in it, where Z is touching AC and XB is on AB. If [XBYZ] = 36, then what are the side lengths of the triangle?

Since the type of right triangle is not specified we may use an isosceles right triangle.

 

The sides of that triangle are 12, 12, and  4√18
