Comparing Areas of a Rectangle and Triangle

Consider a rectangle that has a length of 8 units and a width of 5 units. Calculate the area of the rectangle. Additionally, compare this area to that of a triangle. The triangle has a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units. Determine which area is larger.

The area of a rectangle is found using the formula: $$ ext{Area} = ext{length} imes ext{width} $$

And the area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: $$ ext{Area} = rac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height} $$
