This is mostly just a few words of description which can be translated into a symbolic statement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h = height
\n" ); document.write( "b = base
\n" ); document.write( "area of a triangle is \"%281%2F2%29bh\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h=2b-4\", which IS GIVEN as a description.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Form this equation: \"highlight%28%281%2F2%29%28b%29%282b-4%29=48%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
