You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to use the formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"a\"$ and $\"b\"$ represent the sides while $\"c\"$ represents the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in your known sides, square them and add them together. Then take the square root of that sum to solve for $\"c\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c=sqrt%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "To get the perimeter you can then add up all three sides. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
