You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am pretty sure the only way to solve this at the level I think you are in is using the formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you have a right triangle, then \"A%5E2+%2B+B%5E2+=+C%5E2\" where C is equal to the hypotenuse (or diagonal)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so with your example, we are given the diagonal and either A or B, it doesn't matter since A and B are commutative.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will let B = X (or the answer)
\n" ); document.write( "which implies
\n" ); document.write( "\"28%5E2+%2B+X%5E2+=+35%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "evaluating the squares:
\n" ); document.write( "\"784+%2B+X%5E2+=+1225\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to solve for X, we will want to get it by itself by subtracting 784 on both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"X%5E2+=+441\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finally, square root both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"X+=+%2B21\" or \"X+=+-21\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we are talking about measurement, \"X+=+21\" will be your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
