\n" ); document.write( "This forms two right triangles with height (b)=8 and hypotenuses (c)=10.
\n" ); document.write( "The other legs will be the distance (a) on the x axis from point (1,0)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=sqrt%28c%5E2-b%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=sqrt%2810%5E2-8%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=sqrt%2836%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "a=plus or minus 6
\n" ); document.write( "So the two points are (1+6,0) and (1-6,0) or (7,0) and (-5,0) \n" ); document.write( "
