a^2+b^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "2s^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "2(c-9)^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "2(c^2-18c+81)=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "2c^2-36c+162=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2-36c+162=0
\n" ); document.write( "c=18+9sqrt(2)' length of the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "9+9sqrt(2)' length of each of the other 2 sides.
