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.
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 triangleHeight of rectangle = height of triangleWrite the formulas:Area of the rectangle = (base) times (height)Area of triangle = (one half of) (base) times (height)Can you see the ratio now ?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
The height of the base is part of the triangle and the height of the prism is the height of the rectangle
Area Rectangle = 12 * 8 = 96 sq. in.Area Triangle = 1/2 base * height -> 96 = 16 * height -> 96 / 16 = height = 6 in.
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.
