\n" ); document.write( "The scalene triangle has red sides; the isosceles triangle has black sidesn and the right triangle has blue sides.
\n" ); document.write( "You could think of a triangle, imagine it sliced into many thin slices parallel to the base, and then move those slices horizontally to make all the other triangles with the same base and height.
\n" ); document.write( "Maybe you could do the experiment making your first triangle out of pieces of uncooked spaghetti laid down one next to the other parallel to the base. \n" ); document.write( "
