Question: `q012. Summary Question 1: How do we visualize the area of a rectangle?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Your solution:
We visualize the area by seeing it covered in rows and then we multiply the squares in the rows by the number of rows that are in the rectangle.

Question: `q013. Summary Question 2: How do we visualize the area of a right triangle?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Your solution:
We visualize it by breaking it into rows and then mulitiply the base and height, but we think of it as half a rectangle so we divide then answer by 1/2 to get the area of a right triangle.

Question: `q018. Explain how you have organized your knowledge of the principles illustrated by the exercises in this assignment.
I took the questions a step at a time and used what I did in the previous to help with the one that followed and just added to the new things I was learning. The formulas that I did not know I wrote down so I can remember them.
