\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 2k, 3k, and 4k for some positive constant k.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their squares is equal to
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282k%29%5E2+%2B+%283k%29%5E2+%2B+%284k%29%5E2+=+725\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4k%5E2+%2B+9k%5E2+%2B+16k%5E2+=+725\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"29k%5E2+=+725\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 29
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%5E2+=+725%2F29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%5E2+=+25\"
\n" ); document.write( "Get the positive square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "k = 5
\n" ); document.write( "So 2k = 10, 3k = 15, and 4k = 20.
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are \"highlight%2810%29\", \"highlight%2815%29\", and \"highlight%2820%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
