use pythagorean theorem to solve this question.\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "to solve for c .\"sqrt%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29=c+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2815%5E2%2B10%5E2%29=c+\"
\n" ); document.write( "c=18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the cross length should be 18m.
