\"a%5E2\"+\"b%5E2\"=\"c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "You're given one leg and the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%5E2\"+\"b%5E2\"=\"5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "16+\"b%5E2\"=25
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 16 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2\"=9
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root
