document.write( "I know this need a pic therefore I 'm going to try to describe it as best as I can alright so we have an ABCD rectangle. Start at angle A being on very top of left hand side corner, then the rest of angles BCD work it way by clockwise direction.\r
\n" );

document.write( "From angle A and D (which is on left side) there is two line that look like an A letter (except without a line in between) drawn toward the right side-known as midpoint E ( which cut line BC in half)\r
