A banner shop charges per square inch for rectangular banners. Triangular banners cost per square inch, to account for the extra cutting, but they use only half the material of a rectangle with the same base and height. A triangular banner has a base of inches and a height of inches. How much MORE does a rectangular banner with the same base and height cost than this triangular banner, in dollars? (Use the rectangle's cost minus the triangle's cost; a negative answer means the rectangle is cheaper.)
