The line GH from (-3,2) to (3,-2) can be depicted as the hypotenuse of a triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "The other corner of the triangle is at (-3,-2).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "a = vertical from (-3,-2) to (-3,2). It has length 4.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "b = horizontal from (-3,-2) to (3,-2). It has length 6.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 16 + 36
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 54
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(54)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(54) = sqrt(9*6)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(9*6) = 3*sqrt(6)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c is approximately = 7.3485
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
