You can put this solution on YOUR website!
leg1 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "leg2 = 17
\n" ); document.write( "let hypotenuse be H
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
\n" ); document.write( "LEG1^2+LEG2^2 = HYPOTENUSE^2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "9^2+17^2= H^2
\n" ); document.write( "81+289=H^2
\n" ); document.write( "H^2= 370
\n" ); document.write( "\"H+=+sqrt%28370%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "H= 19.2 units
