\n" ); document.write( "let the hypotenuse be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the shorter leg of a right triangle is \"8\" less than the hypotenuse, we have \"x-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the longer leg is \"1+\"less than the hypotenuse, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter is: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=x%2B%28x-8%29%2B%28x-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=x%2Bx-8%2Bx-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=3x-9\"\r
