(3x)^2+(4x)^2=25^2
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2+16x^2=625
\n" ); document.write( "25x^2=625
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=25
\n" ); document.write( "x=5
\n" ); document.write( "3x=15 base
\n" ); document.write( "4x=20 height
\n" ); document.write( "the base and height are 15 and 20
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
