\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=25%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=625\"
\n" ); document.write( "list same ratios and put in the equation \"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "to find equivalent ratios multiply both numbers by the same number
\n" ); document.write( "3:4 \"3%5E2%2B4%5E2=9%2B16=25\"
\n" ); document.write( "6:8 (i multiplied 3:4 by 2) \"6%5E2%2B8%5E2=36%2B64=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "9:12 (i multiplied 3:4 by 3) \"9%5E2%2B12%5E2=81%2B144=225\"
\n" ); document.write( "12:16 (i multiplied 3:4 by 4) \"12%5E2%2B16%5E2=144%2B256=400\"
\n" ); document.write( "15:20 (i multiplied 3:4 by 5)\"15%5E2%2B20%5E2=225%2B400=625\"
\n" ); document.write( "hey we found 625 so the lengths have to be 15 and 20
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
