The answer is no.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using he Pythagorean Theorem, I do the following:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(30)^2 + (50)^2 = (60)^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "900 + 2500 = 3600\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3400 = 36000....Is this a true statement?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Do you see that I got different answers on both sides of the equation?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is how I know that the given units (in feet) cannot be the measurements of your right triangle.\r
