Sounds like the triangle is spread out so that (the point is at the top of the rectangle) and (the base of the triangle is the same as the base of the rectangle).
Base of rectangle = base of triangle
Height of rectangle = height of triangle
Write the formulas:
Area of the rectangle = (base) times (height)
Area of triangle = (one half of) (base) times (height)
Can you see the ratio now ?

How do you find area of a rectangle within a triangle?
It is not possible to answer the question without additional information about the triangle and the rectangle.
If sides of rectangle A to rectangle B has ratio 4 to 5. What would the perimeter of rectangle A if the rectangle B has a perimeter of 100 What about area of Rectangle A if the area of rectangle B is?
The perimeter of rectangle A would then be 80 because 80 to 100 is 4 to 5 simplified and the area of triangle A would depend on the sides and area of rectangle B which have not been given.
How is the triangle formula derived from the area of rectangles?
The area of a triangle is expressed using the formula A=(1/2)(bh) Where A is area Where B is length of the base of the triangle. Where H is the height of the triangle. The area of a rectangle is A=BH, Where B is the length of the base of the rectangle. Where H is the height of the rectangle. Because a triangle, essentially, is a half of a rectangle, you find the area of the whole rectangle that the triangle comes from, then divide that in half.
Why is the area of the triangle half the base times the height?
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.
An equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters what is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square?
If an equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square is 1:3.
How do you find area of a rectangle within a triangle?
It is not possible to answer the question without additional information about the triangle and the rectangle.
How do you find the area of a rectangle with a triangle attached to the side?
you split your shape in half, (The rectangle and the triangle), by putting a line through it and then calculate the area of the rectangle and then calculate the area of the triangle, half the area of the triangle then add the area of the triangle and the rectangle together!Then you should have your answer!
If sides of rectangle A to rectangle B has ratio 4 to 5. What would the perimeter of rectangle A if the rectangle B has a perimeter of 100 What about area of Rectangle A if the area of rectangle B is?
The perimeter of rectangle A would then be 80 because 80 to 100 is 4 to 5 simplified and the area of triangle A would depend on the sides and area of rectangle B which have not been given.
What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and a rectangle?
The relationship between the area of a triangle and a rectangle is a Triangle is base times height divided by 2. Area of a rectangle is length times height.
How is the triangle formula derived from the area of rectangles?
The area of a triangle is expressed using the formula A=(1/2)(bh) Where A is area Where B is length of the base of the triangle. Where H is the height of the triangle. The area of a rectangle is A=BH, Where B is the length of the base of the rectangle. Where H is the height of the rectangle. Because a triangle, essentially, is a half of a rectangle, you find the area of the whole rectangle that the triangle comes from, then divide that in half.
How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
It's half the area of a rectangle
Why is the area of the triangle half the base times the height?
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.
How is the area triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
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.
An equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters what is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square?
If an equilateral triangle and a square have equal perimeters, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the square is 1:3.
For each triangle draw the other half of a rectangle. What does this mean?
The area of qa triangle is always half of the area of a rectangle with the same dimensions
How does area of a triangle relate to area of a rectangle?
It is not possible to provide any kind of answer without information on the relationship - if any - between the triangle and the rectangle.
How is finding the area of a triangle different from finding the area of a rectangle?
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
