Think in terms of base and height.
\n" ); document.write( "If the triangle is a cardboard cut-out, lay
\n" ); document.write( "one of the sides on the surface of a table.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the base. From the vertex above the table
\n" ); document.write( "to the surface is the height.
\n" ); document.write( "So, I'll translate:
\n" ); document.write( "width = base in meters
\n" ); document.write( "length = height in meters
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for area is:
\n" ); document.write( "[ Area ] = (1/2) x [ base ] x [ height ]
\n" ); document.write( "[ Area ] = $\"+%281%2F2%29%2A3.9%2A4.2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "[ Area ] = $\"+%281%2F2%29%2A16.38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "[ Area ] = $\"+8.19+\"$ square meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
