Comparing Areas of Rectangle and Triangle

Consider two geometric shapes: a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 3 units, and a triangle with a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units.

To compare their areas, use the following formulas:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: $$A_{rectangle} = length \times width$$

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: $$A_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$$

Now, calculate the areas of both shapes to determine which one has the greater area.
