Cody Problem 61070 asked for the height, h, of a right triangle that had the same area, A, of a square with side length, c, and the hypothenuse length was correlated to the square side by x = 2. 
Now, find the height, h, of the right triangle that has the same area, A, of a square with side length, c, and the hypothenuse length is xc, for an arbitrary number x > 2. Here, the height stands for the smallest cathetus.

@Luisa, thanks for follow-up problem. Your 2nd test case has a typo: you're declaring n but calling the function with x.

Sorry. I saw that before to publish and I corrected it, but I forgot to save before to publish, and I leave the problem for the first solver. So sorry.
Thank you.

Thanks for the quick fix, Luisa.

@Cody team, although the test suite changed, some (not all!) previously submitted solutions aren't tagged as outdated and don't offer the option to rescore them. Could you look into this?
