\n" ); document.write( "A right-angled triangle has an area of \"30cm%5E2\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28width%2Aheight%29%2F2\" => \"%28width%2Aheight%29%2F2=30cm%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the width of the triangle is \"W=n%2B3cm\", and the height \"h\" is \"4cm\" less than the width, then we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"W=n%2B3cm\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=n%2B3cm-4cm\"=>\"h=n-1cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to \"%28width%2Aheight%29%2F2=30\", plug in \"W=n%2B3cm\" and \"h=n-1cm\"\r
