the solution to this problem is
\n" ); document.write( "a^2+b^2=c^2 thus:
\n" ); document.write( "35^2+65^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "1225+4225=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "5450=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "c=sqrt5450
\n" ); document.write( "c=73.8 km. away from the starting point.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
