Describe this more carefully:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse of a right triangle is
\n" ); document.write( "StartRoot 23 EndRoot
\n" ); document.write( "23 in and one leg measures
\n" ); document.write( "2 in. Find the length of the other leg.
\n" ); document.write( "----\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Guessing that your problem description is really more this way:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse of a right triangle is square root of 23, and one leg measures 2 inches. Find the length of the other leg.
\n" ); document.write( "---\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using Pythagorean Theorem Formula,
\n" ); document.write( "x, the other leg\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B2%5E2=%28sqrt%2823%29%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B4=23\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=23-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=19\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=sqrt%2819%29\"-------length of other leg
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
