[Healeys] Right triangle dimension needed

[Ken & Sue Bowering]

I'm surprised that someone didn't ask whether the "8" and "10" were measured
in inches, feet, yards, miles, centimetres, metres, or kilometres.

By the way, although it may be implicit, the rule only applies to right
triangles.

And John it always handy to remember the rule of 3,4,5.  3 squared + 4
squared = 5 squared.  Helps to easily check things for square and applicable
in any unit.
