\n" );
document.write( "*Note: Area of a tringle is (1/2)b*h
\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the base, the 3x will the height
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "16m^2 = x^2
\n" );
document.write( "4m = x
\n" );
document.write( "the base is 4m
\n" );
document.write( "checking or answer
\n" );
document.write( "(1/2)4m * 12m =24m^2 \n" );
document.write( "
