\n" );
document.write( "Applying the Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (diagonal being the hypotenuse)
\n" );
document.write( "13cm^2 - 5cm^2 = L^2
\n" );
document.write( "169cm^2 - 25cm^2 = L^2
\n" );
document.write( "144cm^2 = L^2
\n" );
document.write( "12cm = L
\n" );
document.write( "the length of the rectangle is 12cm \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
