Let x is the length of a rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "The width of a rectangle is three-fourths its length, so the width is \"%283%2F4%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal is 10 inches, use the Pythagorean theorem \"x%5E2%2B%28%283%2F4%29x%29%5E2=10%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B%289%2F16%29x%5E2=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2816%2B9%29%2F16%29x%5E2=100\" multiply by 16
\n" ); document.write( "\"25x%5E2=1600\" divide by 25
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8\" inches is the length of a rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F4%29x=%283%2F4%29%2A8=3%2A2=6\" inches is the width of a rectangle
