I've been working on this all day. And i need some assistance. Can someone please help me?
\n" ); document.write( "A right triangle has legs of lengths 9 and 12
\n" ); document.write( "(a) Its hypotenuse has a length of_______
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "a is a side
\n" ); document.write( "b is the other side
\n" ); document.write( "c is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "9^2 + 12^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "81 + 144 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "225 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "15 = c
\n" ); document.write( "(b) The altitude to the hypotenuse divides it into segments of lengths___ and ____
\n" ); document.write( "The altitude strikes the hypotenuse at a right angle. Assume the larger length of the hypotenuse is x and the smaller portion is 15 - x. Knowing your theorm, you should get:
\n" ); document.write( "12^2 = (x)15
\n" ); document.write( "9.6 = x
\n" ); document.write( "You have the lengths: x and 15 - x
\n" ); document.write( "You have the lengths: 9.6 and 5.4
\n" ); document.write( "(c) The altitude to the hypotenuse has length_____
\n" ); document.write( "Knowing your theorm:
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 9.6 * 5.4
\n" ); document.write( "h = 7.2 \n" ); document.write( "
