x, the width
\n" ); document.write( "y, the height
\n" ); document.write( "x=16+y, the width description transcribed\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal of 80 inches cuts the rectangle into two congruent right triangles which have side lengths following the Pythagorean Theorem Formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=d%5E2\", d for the diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2816%2By%29%5E2%2By%5E2=80%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Should be no trouble from there.
