a right triangle, find the length of the side not given. A=5, c=13
\n" ); document.write( "the formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, b is not given
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5^2 + b^2 = 13^2
\n" ); document.write( "25 + b^2 = 169
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 169 - 25
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 144
\n" ); document.write( "b = \"sqrt%28144%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check this in your calc, enter \"sqrt%285%5E2%2B12%5E2%29\", see the results of 13
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
