\n" ); document.write( "Use the Pythagorean Theorem with legs d and hypotenuse \"sqrt%2812%2Bd%29\":

\n" ); document.write( "\"d%5E2%2Bd%5E2=%28sqrt%2812%2Bd%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2d%5E2=12%2Bd\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2d%5E2-d-12=0\"

\n" ); document.write( "That quadratic does not factor in integers, leading to an ugly answer to the question. Since the rest of the problem is just laborious computation, I leave it to you to finish.

\n" ); document.write( "Or perhaps check the given information to see if you have shown it incorrectly, so that the answer turns out to be \"nice\"....
