There would be 3 possible measurements for the 3rd side of the triangle because if you use the hypotenuese formula, you see C^2 = A^2 + B^2 so the two sides could be A and B, or they can be C and A / C and B but the C and __ would be the same for both A and B because they would be added the same way. (they would be equal)
