You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you need to provide more detail about how the triangle looks.
\n" ); document.write( "Does it contain a right angle (90-degrees)?
\n" ); document.write( "Look something like this?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+0%2C+15%2C+0%2C+2%2C+%28-2%2F15%29x%2B2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If so, then the length the sides for right-triangle are governed by
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "\"a\" and \"b\" are the sides that from the right-angle
\n" ); document.write( "\"c\" is the slanted side (hypotinues)
\n" ); document.write( "a=2, b=15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
