a=side of rectangle=side of triangle=12; b=other side of rectangle=leg of triangle; c=diagonal=hypotenuse of triangle=15
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2=c%5E2-a%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%28c%5E2-a%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%2815%5E2-12%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%28225-144%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%2881%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=9\" ANSWER: The length of the other side of the rectangle is 9.
