\n" ); document.write( "Let x = length of the side of the screen
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 = 37^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 37^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 1369
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1369/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(1369/2)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 26.163 inches
