Comparing the Area of a Circle and a Right Triangle

Hard Quantitative Comparisons Geometry Comparisons

Consider two geometric shapes: a circle and a right triangle.

The circle has a radius of 7 units. The area of the circle is given by the formula:

$$A_{circle} = \\pi r^2$$

where $$r$$ is the radius.

The right triangle has a base of 12 units and a height of 8 units. The area of the triangle can be calculated using the formula:

$$A_{triangle} = \\f\frac{1}{2} b h$$

where $$b$$ is the base and $$h$$ is the height.

Compare the areas of the circle and the right triangle, and determine which one has a greater area.
