If I understand your description:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "area of square - unshaded area = shaded area
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"16cm%5E2-%281%2F2%29%283cm%29%283cm%29=shaded_area\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16cm%5E2-4.5cm%5E2=shaded_area\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"11.5cm%5E2=shaded_area\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
