given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one \"90\" degree angle and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "side lengths of \"5cm\" and \"12cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A right isosceles triangle has a \"90-+45-+45\" degree angles. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another interesting right triangle is the 30-60-90 degree triangle. The ratio of this triangle's longest side to its shortest side is \"\"two\" to \"one\".\" That is, the \"longest\" side is \"twice\" as long as the \"shortest\" side. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " One of the most famous is the \"3, 4, 5 triangle.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, the Pythagorean Theorem can help us to find third side if given side lengths of \"5cm\" and \"12+cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "assume that \"12+cm\" is hypotenuse \"c\" and \"5cm\" is leg \"a\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12%5E2=5%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"144=25%2Bb%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"144-25=b%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"119=b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10.9087=b\".........this \"cannot\" be solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let’s assume that \"12cm\" is leg \"a\" and \"5cm\" is leg \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=12%5E2%2B5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=144%2B25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=169\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=13\".....this \"is\" solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, you can draw one triangle with one \"90\" degree angle and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sides lengths of \"5cm\",\"12cm\", and \"13cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
