document.write( "Question 619467: i know that a squared plus b squared equals c squared and I understand that (here is a problem that i made up) if side A is 5 feet and side B is 12 feet that it would come out to 144 + 25 which equals 169 and that that is side C and the hypotenuse but then, do you add 169 together or multiply it together but Im confused what to do after you add side A and B together. Please help. Thanks so much \n" ); document.write( "
