in order for this to be a true rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "sum of the squares of each side, must equal the diagonal squared.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18%5E2%2B36%5E2=43%5E2\"$ has to be a true statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"324%2B1296=1849\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1620=1849\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is not a true statement therefore this is not a true rectangle \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
