Given:
\n" ); document.write( "the height: \"h\"
\n" ); document.write( "the base: \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "the area \"A\" is \"18+in%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if he height of a triangle is four times the length of the base, then we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+4b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29bh\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"18+in%5E2+=+%281%2F2%29b%2A4b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"18+in%5E2+=+4%281%2F2%29b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"18+in%5E2+=+cross%284%292%281%2Fcross%282%29%29b%5E2\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"18+in%5E2%2F2+=+b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"9+in%5E2+=+b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%289+in%5E2%29+=+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+3+in+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \"h+=+4b\"…=>…\"h+=+4%2A3in\"\"h+=+12in\"\r
