You add the squares of the 2 other sides, then take the sqrt.
\n" ); document.write( "For example: the 2 short sides are 5 and 12
\n" ); document.write( "c (hypotenuse) = sqrt(5*5 + 12*12)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(25 + 144)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(169)
\n" ); document.write( "= 13
\n" ); document.write( "it's \"c%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
