A subscript is just a tool used to define a variable such as if you were give a trapazoid, (with two bases) you could label them b sub1 and bsub2
---------------------------------
Suppose you have a variable, such as the mass of an object. We usually denote this with something like m. However, if we were working on a problem involving several masses, we cannot use m for each ones. Therefore, we insert subscripts such as mb, m1, etc. to be more specific.
