Right angle triangle sides

[Jaosin]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to find both the A and B sides in this picture I drew up. I have the length of side C, which equals 33.54. A and B are proportional to each other. B/A=1.2 Is there enough information to know what A and B are? Thank you.

Yes, there's enough information. What have you tried? (I recommend the Pythagorean Theorem.)
