Bruce's Scribepost, Pythagoras

Hello,
Today Mr Harbeck assigned a few of us to make a scribe on one of the seven question. My question was #6.


6. Determine the length of the leg for each right triangle.
A)
One leg=7cm
Second leg=?cm
Hypotenuse=25cm

c(sqrd) - a(sqrd) = b(sqrd)
25cm(sqrd) - 7cm(sqrd) = ?cm(sqrd)
625cm(sqrd) - 49cm(sqrd) = 576cm(sqrd)

square root of 576=24cm
b=24cm
B)
One leg=24cm
Second leg=?cm
Hypotenuse=26cm

t(sqrd) - s(sqrd) = r(sqrd)
26cm(sqrd) - 24cm(sqrd) = ?cm(sqrd)
676cm(sqrd) - 576cm(sqrd) = 100cm(sqrd)

square root of 100=10
r=10cm

If you think it's wrong please leave a comment, because I just did my scribe half asleep.
