Use:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"a\"$ and $\"b\"$ are our sides, or the given base and height in this case. The $\"c\"$ is our missing side's distance.
\n" ); document.write( "Plugging in our values:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15%5E2%2B13%5E2=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"225%2B169=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"394=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the sqaure root of 394 to give us:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c=19.85+ft\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
