7 Difficult to find, but great resources for finding the area of a triangle

Let’s face it; Google is the 800 pound gorilla of the internet. How could we ever find information on the internet without Google? They do a great job of sorting information and ranking websites. However, there are helpful Math websites on pages seven, eight, or even on page ten, but who looks past page three when search results appear. I discovered this fact while checking my rank for many of the pages of my own website. I have several pages that show up on page seven or eight and as I look at the other pages ranked with me, I realize that some of these pages are really helpful, and have great information. So let’s take a look at 7 helpful pages that you might not discover because of their page rank.
