$\"a=33ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=56ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c=65ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check if the Pythagorean equation is true for this triangle
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c%5E2=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"65%5E2+=+33%5E2+%2B+56%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4225+=+1089+%2B+3136\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4225+=+4225\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, the Pythagorean equation is true and this is a right triangle.
