The two legs of a right triangle are the base and height, either order.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If x and y are each leg, h is hypotenuse, then \"x%5E2%2By%5E2=h%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "Your example would become \"8%5E2%2By%5E2=16%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=sqrt%2816%5E2-8%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=sqrt%28192%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "48*4=24*2*4=2*12*2*4=2*2*2*3*2*4
\n" ); document.write( "192=2^4**3*2^2
\n" ); document.write( "2^3*sqrt(3)=sqrt(192)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=8%2Asqrt%283%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area is \"highlight%28%281%2F2%29%288%29%288%2Asqrt%283%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
