document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(a)  Since the hypotenuse is 8.5 cm and sinse the triangle is right and isoscels,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     the legs are congruent and have the length of   cm each.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Therefore, the area of the right triangle at the base is   =  = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Hence, the volume of the prism is   =  = 216.75 cubic centimeters.    ANSWER\r\n" );

document.write( "(b)  you just know each and every dimension of the prism.\r\n" );
