\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "It all boils down to Pythagoream Theorem for Right Triangles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let us see.
\n" ); document.write( "a)3m, 4m, 5m
\n" ); document.write( "let\"system%28a=3%2Cb=4%2Cc=5%29\", * Remember: hyp. is the longest side
\n" ); document.write( "Pyth Theorem: --> \"hyp%5E2=adj%5E2%2Bopp%5E2\" ---> \"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%5E2=3%5E2%2B4%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25=9%2B16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25=25\", good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the measures can represent the sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b)\"sqrt%282cm%29\",\"sqrt%283cm%29\", \"sqrt%285cm%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "let\"system%28a=sqrt%282%29%2Cb=sqrt%283%29%2Cc=sqrt%285%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%285%29%29%5E2=%28sqrt%282%29%29%5E2%2B%28sqrt%283%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=2%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5=5\", good
\n" ); document.write( "The measures can represent the sides.
