The figure is,

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The figure here given is,

Step 2. Consider the following ways.

Draw a line $l$ .

Let $P$ be a point on the line.

Using $b$ as radius and $P$ as center draw two arcs intersecting the line $l$ .

Let this points be $Q$ and $S$ .

Using $a$ as radius and $Q$ as center, draw an arc.

With same radius and $S$ as center, draw an arc intersecting the arc drawn using $Q$ as center.

Label the point of intersection as $R$ .

Draw $\bar{P R}$ .

Draw $\bar{Q R}$ .

Step 3. Draw the figure.

The figure drawn is shown below,

Therefore, triangle $P Q R$ is obtained whose hypotenuse length is equal to $a$ and one leg is $b$ .
