You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 is equal to 137
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 is equal to 11^2 = 121
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = a^2 + b^2 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "137 = a^2 + 121
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = 137 - 121 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4
\n" ); document.write( "you have:
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4
\n" ); document.write( "b = 11
\n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(137)
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + b^2 = c^2 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "4^2 + 11^2 = 137 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "16 + 121 = 137 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "137 = 137
\n" ); document.write( "solution is confirmed as good.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
