Betsy designed a flag using blue triangles, small white squares, and a red center square, as shown. Let $B$ be the total area of the blue triangles, $W$ the total area of the white squares, and $P$ the area of the red square. Which of the following is correct?
[asy] unitsize(3mm); fill((-4,-4)--(-4,4)--(4,4)--(4,-4)--cycle,blue); fill((-2,-2)--(-2,2)--(2,2)--(2,-2)--cycle,red); path onewhite=(-3,3)--(-2,4)--(-1,3)--(-2,2)--(-3,3)--(-1,3)--(0,4)--(1,3)--(0,2)--(-1,3)--(1,3)--(2,4)--(3,3)--(2,2)--(1,3)--cycle; path divider=(-2,2)--(-3,3)--cycle; fill(onewhite,white); fill(rotate(90)*onewhite,white); fill(rotate(180)*onewhite,white); fill(rotate(270)*onewhite,white); [/asy]
$\textbf{(A)}\ B = W \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ W = P \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ B = P \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 3B = 2P \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 2P = W$
The blue that's touching the center red square makes up 8 triangles, or 4 squares. Each of the corners is 1 square and each of the edges is 1, totaling 12 squares. There are 12 white squares, thus we have $\boxed{B=W\Rightarrow \text{(A)}}$.
