There is a right angle triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "a=18 b=12 c=?
\n" ); document.write( "a^2+b^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "18^2+12^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "324+144=468
\n" ); document.write( "c^2=468
\n" ); document.write( "c=sqrt(468) sqrt of each side.
\n" ); document.write( "c=21.63'=21' 5.25\"
