Comparing Areas of Triangle and Rectangle

Very Easy Quantitative Comparisons Geometry Comparisons

Consider a triangle with a base of 5 units and a height of 4 units. Calculate the area of the triangle and compare it to a rectangle that has a length of 5 units and a width of 4 units.

Recall the formula for the area of a triangle: $$A = \f\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$.

For the rectangle, the area can be calculated using the formula: $$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$.

Which area is greater?
