document.write( "If 3 different positive real numbers are given to you, let say, \"a\", \"b\" and \"c\",\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "then (I hope) they are the side lengths of the triangle.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If so, then you use the Pythagorean theorem and check if the square of the LARGER number is equal \r\n" );
document.write( "to the sum of the squares of the two other numbers.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Usually, in such problems, the assignment should say WHAT these numbers do represent.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In other case, three slopes may/can be given.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you check if one of the three given numbers is the NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL to some of the other numbers.\r\n" );
