If s is the (common) side of a square, then the diagonal is given by \"sqrt%282%29%2As\". Hence by hypothesis \"sqrt%282%29%2As+=+s+%2B+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"%28sqrt%282%29+-+1%29s+=+2\", or \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+2%2F%28sqrt%282%29+-+1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
