TO FIND THE LENGTHS OF THE TWO SIDES OF THIS RIGHT TRIANGLE WE FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE X & Y POINTS.THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "3+5=8 FOR THE X DISTANCE &
\n" ); document.write( "4-2=2 FOR THE Y DISTANCE. NOW WE NEED TO FIND THE HYPOTENUSE . THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "2^2+8^2=H^2
\n" ); document.write( "4+64=H^2
\n" ); document.write( "H^2=68
\n" ); document.write( "H=8.246 WHICH IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN J & K.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
