\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number your dots, left to right, then top to bottom.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a square with 1,2,4,5. But that is congruent to any other square with side measuring 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a larger square with 1,3,7,9. There is obviously only one of those that can be made.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a rectangle with 1, 3, 4, 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a parallelogram with 2,3,4,5. All other parallelograms of this size are congruent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a larger parallelogram with 2, 3, 7, and 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a trapezoid with 2, 3, 4, 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can make a larger trapezoid with 3, 4, 7, 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, two squares, a rectangle, two parallelograms, and two trapezoids (or trapeziums if you are British) for a total of 7.\r
