The area of a triangle is \"+%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Call the horizontal part of the roof \"+2b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The vertical line from the center of \"2b\"
\n" ); document.write( "to the top of the roof is \"+h+\".
\n" ); document.write( "So, the area of the roof is the sum
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah+%2B+%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah+=+b%2Ah+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that \"+b+\" is 1/2 of the
\n" ); document.write( "horizontal part of the roof because I
\n" ); document.write( "said the whole horizontal part was \"+2b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
