Comparing Areas of Triangle and Rectangle

Consider a triangle that has a base of 8 units and a height of 5 units. To find the area of this triangle, we apply the formula:

$$ ext{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times ext{base} \times ext{height} $$

Next, compare this area to that of a rectangle that has a length of 6 units and a width of 8 units. Calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula:

$$ ext{Area} = ext{length} \times ext{width} $$

Determine which area is greater.
