Is it possible for a rectangle and a triangle to have the same area?
Yes.
Can the same circumference of triangle square rectangle have a different area?
no
A triangle is within a rectangle. how to find the ratio of the area of triangle to the rectangle?
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 ?
Area of triangle relates to the area of a rectangle?
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.
How could you use the formula for area of a rectangle to find the formula for the area of a triangle?
A traingle covers half the area of a rectangle with the same base and [perpendicular] height.
