  • thank you so much i was sick from school, and i bet this is better than what i would have learned!

  • @lkrauss100 You're right. A is always greater than B...what determines the shape is the location of the A and B values (A under X = wide and short, A under Y = tall and skinny). Good work.

  • Sal what do you get out of this? I mean superman gets lois lane batman gets a cool car what do you get for saving millions of children's futures

  • Thanks. My final Extension maths exam is in 3 days and this helped heaps!

  • I think you're wrong when you say a>b means that it's horizontal. it's horizontal if the x value is over the a value, and not the y value

  • OMG thanks u sooooo much!!! u r a genius!!!

  • So helpful!
