\n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture.
\n" ); document.write( "You have a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "height = 6 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "base = 8 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "You want to find the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras:
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "h = sqrt[36+64]
\n" ); document.write( "h = sqrt[100]
\n" ); document.write( "h = 10ft.
