figure out the leg of a right triangle when hypotenuse equals 10,
\n" ); document.write( "and one given leg is 8.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the unknown leg length be \"x\"::
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt[10^2-8^2]
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt[100-64] = sqrt(36) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
