So the big rectangle has an area of,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5Bbr%5D=8%2A12=96\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and the small square has an area of,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5Bss%5D=4%2A4=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5Bss%5D%2BA%5Bshaded%5D=A%5Bbr%5D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16%2BA%5Bshaded%5D=96\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5Bshaded%5D=80\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
