How to calculate the length of legB and hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle with a given perimeter and legA in C#

using System;

public class RightTriangle
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        double perimeter = 120;
        double legA = 20;

        // From perimeter: a + b + c = P
        // From Pythagoras: c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
        // Substitute c into perimeter equation: a + b + sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = P
        // Solve for legB
        double legB = (Math.Pow(perimeter - legA, 2) - Math.Pow(legA, 2))
                      / (2 * (perimeter - legA));

        if (legB <= 0) {
            Console.Error.WriteLine("No valid right triangle exists with these values.");
            return;
        }

        double hypotenuse = Math.Sqrt(legA * legA + legB * legB);

        Console.WriteLine($"Leg a: {legA:F3}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Leg b: {legB:F3}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Hypotenuse c: {hypotenuse:F3}");
    }
}



/*
run:

Leg a: 20.000
Leg b: 48.000
Hypotenuse c: 52.000

*/
