Comparison of Areas of Triangle and Rectangle

Easy Quantitative Comparisons Geometry Comparisons

Two geometric figures are compared in this problem:

Figure A is a triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units.

Figure B is a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 5 units.

Calculate the area of each figure:

  • The area of Triangle A is given by the formula:
    $$ ext{Area} = rac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height}$$
  • The area of Rectangle B is given by the formula:
    $$ ext{Area} = ext{length} imes ext{width}$$

Which figure has a greater area?
