Pythagoras said that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square root of the sums of the squares of the sides:
\n" ); document.write( "h = √a^2+b^2
\n" ); document.write( "You have one side = 6 and the other = 10
\n" ); document.write( "6 squared: 6*6 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "10 squared:10*10 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "36+100 = 136 and √136 = 11.66 is the length of the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
