Lets start with the Pythagorean theorem as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "from above, we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2816%29%5E2+%2B+sqrt%2819%29%5E2+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16+%2B+19+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"35+=+c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c+=+sqrt%2835%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
