You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For this you would just use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "10\"sqrt%283%29\"^2 + b^2 = 20^2
\n" ); document.write( "173.2 + b^2 = 400
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 226.8
\n" ); document.write( "b = 15.06
\n" ); document.write( "(15.06)^2 + 10\"sqrt%283%29\"^2 = 20^2
\n" ); document.write( "226.8 ft+ 173.2 ft = 400 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "400 ft = 400 ft. This does check.
