document.write( "Chocolate bars are made in the shape of a triangular prism. The base of the bar is a right angled isosceles triangle with 2 sides 3cm each. The chocolate to produce the bars is melted from a block with volume of 3600cm cubic. If chocolate from the block can make 400 bars what is the depth of each bar.\r
