Q:
\n" ); document.write( "One side of a triangle is 9. If the other side is 3 less than the hypotenuse, find the missing side and hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "A:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "so x - 3 = missing side
\n" ); document.write( "Using Pythagorean Theorem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x+-+3%29%5E2+%2B+9%5E2\" = \"x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+90\" = \"x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "-6x + 90 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x - 3 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse is \"highlight%2815%29\" and the missing side is \"highlight%2812%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
