Let the length = $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+=+36%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+225+%2B+x%5E2+=+1296+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2+=+1296+-+225+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2+=+1071+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+32.726+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The approximate length is 32.7 inches
