\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "1/2bh is the area of one of those triangles,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So multiply it by 16 and you'll have the area of all 16\r\n" );
document.write( "triangles, which is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "16 × 1/2bh and since half of 16 is 8, the answer is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "8bh.\r\n" );
