Imagine a triangle with a base measuring 10 units and a height of 5 units. To find the area of the triangle, we use the formula:
$$ ext{Area} =\frac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height} $$
What is the area of this triangle when compared to a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 6 units? Calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula:
$$ ext{Area} = ext{length} imes ext{width} $$
