If the length of the hose in meters is $\"+h+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "by the pythagorean theorem:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+h%5E2+=+w%5E2+%2B+l%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+h+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+=+34+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+60%5E2+=+34%5E2+%2B+l%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3600+=+1156+%2B+l%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+l%5E2+=+3600+-+1156+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+l%5E2+=+2444+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+l+=+49.4+\"$ m
