A right angled triangle:
\n" ); document.write( "Width (base of triangle)= 24cm
\n" ); document.write( "Diagonal (hypotenuse) = 40cm
\n" ); document.write( "Length (vertical side of triangle)= x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 24^2 = 40^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 40^2 - 24^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1024
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%281024%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32cm
\n" ); document.write( "Length is 34cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
