let the hypotenuse of the right triangle be equal to c.
\n" ); document.write( "let the vertical leg be equal to a
\n" ); document.write( "let the horizontal leg be equal to b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the area of any triangle is equal to 1/2 * base * height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the base be equal to 4, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/2 * base * height = 6 becomes 1/2 * 4 * height = 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for height to get height = 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the horizontal side (base) of the right triangle is 4.
\n" ); document.write( "the vertical side (height) of the right triangle is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "the area of the right triangle is 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the hypotenuse of the right triangle is equal to sqrt(4^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(16 + 9) = sqrt(25) = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
