You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the 3-4-5 right triangle as an example
\n" ); document.write( "The longest side is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "According to the Pythagorean theorem,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%5E2+%2B+4%5E2+=+5%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9+%2B+16+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose you didn't know what one of the
\n" ); document.write( "smaller sides was. You could say
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+=+5%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9+%2B+x%5E2+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps
