Comparison of Areas: Triangle vs Parallelogram

Easy Quantitative Comparisons Geometry Comparisons

Consider a right triangle with one leg measuring 5 units and the other leg measuring 12 units. We can calculate the area of this right triangle using the formula:

Area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \)

Now, compare this area to a parallelogram that has a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units. What can you say about the area of the triangle compared to the area of the parallelogram?

The area of the triangle is greater than the area of the parallelogram.

The area of the triangle is equal to the area of the parallelogram.

The area of the triangle is less than the area of the parallelogram.

There isn't enough information to compare the areas.
