You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A rectangle is composed of 4 right angles. With the diagonal you have created two triangles and better yet 2 right triangles. You would then use the pythagorean therom a^2+b^2=c^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you already have the value for c=61 and a=11 all you have to do is plug in the numbers\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "121 +b^2=3721\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subract 121 from both sides \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b^2=3600
\n" ); document.write( "b=60\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let us doublecheck\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "121+3600=3721\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
