<p>^ </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Compressed into:</p>

<p>1/2(2)(3)</p>

<hr>

<h1>1/2(3)(4)</h1>

<h1>3/6</h1>

<p>1/2</p>

<p>Lol!</p>

<p>Thats what I got^. Your problem was labeling some of the sides wrong, SV should be 2, and TR should be 1.</p>

6

<p>^ No I think he labeled it quite right. I think he meant the “3” as the whole length rater then just SV. I thought that at first, but then I realized that some people label things differently.</p>

7

<p>I considered that too, but still, if you forget that it is the entire side for a second than it can throw you off.</p>
