5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "25 + 144 = 169
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse = \"sqrt%28169%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse = 13 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================
\n" ); document.write( "The area = 1/2 base * height
\n" ); document.write( "Area 1/2(5)(12) = 30 cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================
\n" ); document.write( "The perimenter is the sum of the three sides.
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 12 + 13 = 30 cm.
