You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are simply missing another either equation or inequality statement----------- the PERIMETER.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using h for hypotenuse instead of y,
\n" ); document.write( "you have \"x%5E2%2B3%5E2=h%5E2\" and \"x%2Bh%2B3%3E=8\" and \"x%2Bh%2B3%3C=12\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You should be able to work well with those now.\r
