Rectangle: length x width triangle: (base x height)/2
Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width, the area of a triangle is half that.
two right triangles = full rectangle That is - if you multiply height times base of a triangle, the area will be 1/2 of a rectangle having the same height, and a width the same as the triangle base.
Yes. Any triangle can be fitted twice into a rectangle having the same base length and vertical height as the triangle. Consequently, whilst the area of a rectangle = length x width ; the area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height. If we were using the same words this would be 1/2 length x width.
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
The area of a rectangle is length x width. The area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. If you mean a rectangle, the area is 70 square units. If you mean a triangle, the area is 35 square units.
If it is a rectangle then area is height times width
A rectangle is a two dimensional object: height, width and length are three dimensions.
Rectangle area = (rectangle width) x (rectangle height)
Base x height for the area oF a rectangle(sometimes written as length x width). 1/2 x base x height for a triangle.
area of a rectangle is width x height
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width; the area of a triangle is half the product of the base and the height. Thus, the rectangle has an area of 3 x 2 = 6, while the triangle has an area of (3 x 5) / 2 = 7.5. 7.5 is greater than 6, so the triangle is larger.
