Use the Pythagorean theorem,

\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%2826%5E2-19%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%28676-361%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=sqrt%28315%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming \"c\" is not the hypotenuse,
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bc%5E2=b%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2=19%5E2%2B26%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2=1037\"
