Comparing Areas of Triangle and Rectangle

Consider a triangle with a base of length 6 units and a height of 4 units. The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

$$ ext{Area} = rac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height}$$

Using the formula, determine the area of the triangle. Then, compare this area to the area of a rectangle that has a length of 8 units and a width of 3 units. The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

$$ ext{Area} = ext{length} imes ext{width}$$

Based on these calculations, which statement is true?
