What value(s) of X make the triangle?
\n" ); document.write( "x, x, 8; right
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 = 8^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides y 2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%2832%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"4%2Asqrt%282%29\"; about 5.657
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
