document.write( "Question 1106179: I am trying to use the pythagorean theorem on right triangles. We are supposed to do the theorem and end up with an answer in the format so it’s not a decimal (xsquare root sign y). I tried this problem and ended up with 277, and when trying to reduce it, failed. The triangle has a leg (9) and another leg (14). I did a^2 + b^2 =c^2 and just couldn’t get it. Please help!
