\n" ); document.write( "
x CANNOT be the longest side (hypotenuse) since it's smaller than x + 1
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, using x + 1 as hypotenuse, you'll get the following equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%28x+%2B+1%29%5E2%2C+%22=%22%2C+x%5E2+%2B+5%5E2%29\", and the pythagorean triple: 5-12-13.
\n" );
document.write( "Using 5 as the hypotenuse, you'll get the following equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+5%5E2%2C+%22=%22%2C+x%5E2+%2B+%28x+%2B+1%29%5E2%29\", and the pythagorean triple: 3-4-5, when the POSITIVE (> 0) value of x is chosen. \n" );
