\n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse x in
\n" ); document.write( "By Pythagoras theorem
\n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse^2 = Leg1^2+leg2^2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%09x+%09%5E2%09=%093%09%5E2%09%2B%096%09%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x ^2 = 9 + 36
\n" ); document.write( "x ^2 = 45
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%28x%5E2%29=%09%09sqrt%28%0945%09%29\"$
