Draw a segment extending from this endpoint to the x-axis.  Now you have an isosceles 45-45-90 triangle.  Hypotenuse is 346 units.  Calculate the length of a leg of this triangle.  How many of these leg legnths are still contained along the x-axis which still hold a rectangular form?   </SPAN>\n" );
