Figure seems to imply a right angle along the segment of x and 3;
\n" ); document.write( "If h is the vertical segment from the bottom point to the segment of the x and 3, then \"h%5E2%2B3%5E2=5%5E2\" and then \"h=sqrt%2825-9%29=4\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The triangle on the left is also expected to be a right triangle, if the right-side triangle were a right triangle. This means \"x%5E2%2Bh%5E2=8%5E2\",
\n" ); document.write( "and \"x%5E2=64-16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=sqrt%2812%2A4%29=sqrt%283%2A4%2A4%29=highlight%284%2Asqrt%283%29%29\".\r
