Pythagoras, Ummm. Of course you can determine the value of hypotenuse of the main triangle using pythagoras however, It would not help us determining the value of "a".

Anyways, he figured out another ecuation (Area of a square)
(18-a)(12-a)=a^2

That leads usto the same result I gave using similarity of triangles.
