Question

Write the HTML code to display the following statements on a webpage:
I. The chemical formula for Sulfuric Acid is H₂SO₄.
II. The Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c².
III. The coordinates are represented as (X₁, Y₁).

Hint:

Low characters need the subscript tag, and raised powers need the superscript tag.

Answer 1

Step 1: Recall the two tags:
The <sub> tag lowers the text below the normal line. This is called a subscript. The <sup> tag raises the text above the normal line. This is called a superscript.

Step 2: Statement I: subscripts:
In H2SO4 the numbers 2 and 4 are written low, so each one is wrapped in <sub>. The letters stay normal.

The chemical formula for Sulfuric Acid is H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>.

Step 3: Statement II: superscripts:
In a2 + b2 = c2 the small 2 is a power, so it is written high. Each 2 is wrapped in <sup>.

The Pythagorean theorem is a<sup>2</sup> + b<sup>2</sup> = c<sup>2</sup>.

Step 4: Statement III: subscripts again:
In (X1, Y1) the 1 sits low after each letter, so each 1 is wrapped in <sub>.

The coordinates are represented as (X<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>1</sub>).

Step 5: Put the three lines on the page:
Each statement is a separate paragraph, so we place each one in a <p> tag.

<p>The chemical formula for Sulfuric Acid is H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>.</p>
<p>The Pythagorean theorem is a<sup>2</sup> + b<sup>2</sup> = c<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>The coordinates are represented as (X<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>1</sub>).</p>

Final Answer:
Use the sub tag for the low numbers in statements I and III and the sup tag for the powers in statement II. \[ \boxed{\text{sub for H2SO4 and X1, Y1; sup for the powers in a2 + b2 = c2}} \]
