\n" ); document.write( "then,
\n" ); document.write( "by pythagoras theorem
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "7^2 + b^2 = 25^2
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 25^2 - 7^2
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 625 - 49
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 576
\n" ); document.write( "b = 24
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
