\n" ); document.write( "You didn't write the problem correctly; and the other tutor didn't recognize what problem you were TRYING to work.

\n" ); document.write( "The problem is about the Pythagorean Theorem; so the statement of the problem should talk about c^2 -- not just c.

\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+17%5E2+%2B+19%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+289%2B361+=+650\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+sqrt%28650%29+=+25.5\" rounded to the nearest tenth.
\n" ); document.write( "
