One side is s, known but value not given.
\n" ); document.write( "Another side is c, unknown.
\n" ); document.write( "and hypotenuse, call variable h, known. h=12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want to find c, and use it to create the formula for area.
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E2%2Bc%5E2=h%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=h%5E2-s%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=sqrt%28h%5E2-s%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Expression for the area, \"%281%2F2%29s%2Ac=highlight%28%281%2F2%29s%2Asqrt%28h%5E2-s%5E2%29%29\".
