You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From the picture you sent, and using the distance formula,
\n" ); document.write( "PR = \"sqrt%28%28a-0%29%5E2+%2B+%280-b%29%5E2%29+=+sqrt%28a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2%29\", and
\n" ); document.write( "OQ = \"sqrt%28%28a-0%29%5E2+%2B+%28b-0%29%5E2%29+=+sqrt%28a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore PR = OQ, and the two diagonals are congruent.
