16. 12 math books are divided into two stacks as shown in the picture below. Assuming each book has the exact same dimension, use Cavalieri's principle to prove the volumes of the two stacks are equal.

Both have equal heights of 12, both have equal base of area of 1 textbook; Therefore volumes are equal.
