\n" );
document.write( "Let c represent the length of the diagonal
\n" );
document.write( "Applying the Pythagorean theorem
\n" );
document.write( " 6^2 + 9^2 = c^2
\n" );
document.write( "      117 = c^2   (tossing out the negative solution)
\n" );
document.write( "       10.82 units = c , the length of the diagonal  \n" );
