document.write( "Let A be the area of the rectangle.\r\n" );
document.write( "Let B be its base.\r\n" );
document.write( "Let H be the height.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The most common formula for the area of a rectangle is \r\n" );
document.write( "\"A+=+B+%2A+H\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We can rewrite this in \"base equals\" form by dividing both sides by H.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"A%2FH+=+%28B%2AH%29%2FH\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The H is the numerator and denominator on the right side cancel each other because H/H=1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\"A%2FH+=+B%2Across+%28H%29%2Fcross+%28H%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"B=A%2FH\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In other words, to find the base, divide the area by the height.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hope this helps,\r\n" );
