For a triangle,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=%281%2F2%29bh=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"bh=72\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h=3b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b%283b%29=72\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b%5E2=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=sqrt%2824%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28b=2%2Asqrt%283%29%29\"$ ft
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28h=6%2Asqrt%283%29%29\"$ ft \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
