\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal of the rectangle HAS to be the diameter of the circle, in this case 26cm, so:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is a right triangle:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a=10cm
\n" ); document.write( "b=?
\n" ); document.write( "c=hypotenuse= 26\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "*using Pythagorean Theorem*\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a^2+b^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "10^2+b^2=26^2
\n" ); document.write( "100 = b^2 = 676\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 576
\n" ); document.write( "b= 24 cm
\n" ); document.write( "
