Comparing Areas of Triangle and Rectangle

Consider a triangle where the base is 6 units long and the height is 4 units high. To find the area of the triangle, we use the formula:

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

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

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

Which shape has a greater area?
