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?
