\n" ); document.write( " The sides of the triangle = 10 ft., 22 ft. & 18 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " If the triangle is a rt.angled triangle, then it hypotenus,
\n" ); document.write( " being the biggest side, should be = 22 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Applying Pythagorus theorum, the square of hyp. should be equal
\n" ); document.write( " to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So $\"22%5E2\"$ should be = $\"%2810%5E2+%2B+18%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " but here 484(Sq.of LHS) is not = 100 + 324.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So this triangular garden is not in the shape of rt.triangle. ... Proved.\r
