The Right Triangles

Thank you for helping. (:

The altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the ypoteuse into segments such that their lengths are in the ratio 1:4. If the length of the altitude is 8 find the length of:
(A) Each segment of the hypotenuse.
(B) The longer leg of the triangle.

I am not, therefore I do not think. Contrapositive of Descartes' quip.
