You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For a right triangle, $\"a%5E2\"$ + $\"b%5E2\"$ = $\"c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You're given all the values.
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)^2 + (x+8)^2 = 13^2
\n" ); document.write( "From this equation (into a calculator), x=4
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the sides are 5 and 9
\n" ); document.write( "Let's make sure that works.
\n" ); document.write( "5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
\n" ); document.write( "25 + 144 = 169
\n" ); document.write( "Success!
\n" ); document.write( "The sides are 5 and 12
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
