Johnson, Carl S.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
By translating inequalities into equations (e.g., x greater than 0 can be written x- absolute value of x = 0) and forming equations for unions and intersections of solution sets, students can develop equations for polygons. The method can be generalized to yield equations in three dimensions. (SD)
