Area Comparison of Rectangle and Triangle

You have two geometric shapes: a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle has a length of 10 units and a width of 6 units. The triangle has a base of 8 units and a height of 7 units. Your task is to compare the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle.

First, calculate the area of each shape using the following formulas:

Area of a rectangle: $$ A_{rectangle} = ext{length} imes ext{width} $$

Area of a triangle: $$ A_{triangle} =\frac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height} $$

Once you have the areas, determine which one is greater.
