Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "We know the formula is A^2 + B^2 = C^2
\n" ); document.write( "So plug in the values:
\n" ); document.write( "8^2 + 12^2 = C^2
\n" ); document.write( "64+ 144 = C^2
\n" ); document.write( "208=C^2
\n" ); document.write( "Square root both sides and we get:
\n" ); document.write( "c= +-sq rt 208
\n" ); document.write( "Make Sense?
