let $\"+a+\"$ = the distance from the end

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+cos%28+30+%29+=+a%2F%28+4%2Asqrt%283%29+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+sqrt%283%29%2F2+%29%2A%28+4%2Asqrt%283%29+%29+=+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+a+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the distance to the other wall is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%28+6%5E2+-+%28+2%2Asqrt%283%29+%29%5E2+%29+\"$
