a^2+b^2=c^2 [Pythagorean Theorem]
\n" ); document.write( "6^2+8^2=c^2 [Plug-in the values]
\n" ); document.write( "36+64=c^2 [Simplify]
\n" ); document.write( "100=c^2 [Take the square root of each side to find the value of just \"c\"]
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(100)=sqrt(c^2)
\n" ); document.write( "10=c
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging all of the values for a, b, and c back into the formula.
