"The cube of the square-root of the sum of eight times the given area and the square of an optional number is divided by the product of the optional number and that square-root; the quotient is diminished by half the optional number which is the base (of the required triangle). The *saṅkramaṇa* between this remainder and the quotient of the square of the optional number divided by twice that square-root will give the two sides."²
