Area Comparison of Triangle and Rectangle

Consider a triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 5 units. The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula:

$$A = \f\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$

Now, compare this triangle's area to a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 6 units. The area of the rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

$$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
