\n" ); document.write( "a triangle \"ABC\" is a right triangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the hypotenuse is \"AB\", \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"AC=5\" and \"BC=12\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "use Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28AB%29%5E2=%28AC%29%5E2%2B%28BC%29%5E2\" \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"AB=13\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you make a square ABLH from the hypotenuse, means a side of the square is same length as the hypotenuse; so, the length of \"CH=13\"\r
