\"a%5E2\"+\"b%5E2\"=\"c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "You're give c - the hypotenuse or diagonal - as 6m
\n" ); document.write( "You're also given one side as 4m.
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%5E2\"+\"b%5E2\"=\"6%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "16 + \"b%5E2\" = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 16 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2\" = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( "b = roughly 4.47 (rounded)
\n" ); document.write( "If you want to be more precise, b=the square root of 20
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
