If you're bothered by the idea of negative-area rectangles, there's no need to justify the assumption that b < a, because that's the only way you can assign any

If you're bothered by the idea of negative-area rectangles, there's no need to justify the assumption that b < a, because that's the only way you can assign any meaning to either side of the equation.
