\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So far I tried:
\n" ); document.write( "90 squared + 90 squared = c squared
\n" ); document.write( "8100 + 8100 = c squared
\n" ); document.write( "16200 = c squared
\n" ); document.write( "when taken by the square root I get
\n" ); document.write( "9 square root of 2 = c
\n" ); document.write( "approximate distance is 34 feet
\n" ); document.write( "

oops, dropped an order of magnitude.
\n" ); document.write( "\"16200+=+c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2816200%29+=+c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"127.3+=+c\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is \"90%2Asqrt%282%29\" not \"9+%2A+sqrt%282%29\"\r
