length (l)= 12 feet
\n" ); document.write( "diagonal (d)= 15 feet
\n" ); document.write( "as per Pythagorean theorem,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+diagonal%5E2++=+length%5E2%2Bwidth%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15%5E2+=+12%5E2%2Bwidth%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"225=+144%2Bwidth%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " move 144 to the left
\n" ); document.write( " $\"225-144+=+width%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+81=width%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " apply square root on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%2881%29=+sqrt%28width%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " 9 =width
\n" ); document.write( "so width = 9 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Result : WIde =9 feet \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
