A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas?

it is possible, if the triangle is bigger than the rectangle, for example the rectangle has a base of 5 and height of 2-- so the area is 10; and then the triangle has a base of 5 and a height of 4-- the area is also 10.


Which is greater 3ftx2ft rectangle or a triangle with base of 3 ft height 5 fft?

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.


Does obtuse triangle must have greater area than an acute triangle?

No reason why it should, area varies as base and height.


The base of a triangle is 10 cm greater than the height. The area is 28 cm squared. What is the base and height?

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x (base) x (height) In this situation, the base [b] = height [h] + 10 And the Area = 28 So the 28 = 1/2 x (h + 10) x h The base is 14 cm and the height is 4 cm


What is the area of a right triangle?

Half the base times the height A triangle is a figure that is enclosed by three connecting segments. A right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees. The area is 1/2 the base times the height.
