I could not find a triangle to input into my question and I could not copy and paste from another program. The bottom is about on inch long with an 8 below the left side is straight up and down about 1/2 inch with a 6 beside with a small box in the corner. the right is the length of the bottom only coming down to meet the bottom with the letter c on top. \n" ); document.write( "
