There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

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.


Can you find the area of ANY triangle by usingbase times height divided by 2?

Yes because the area of a rectangle is base times height and every triangle is half a square.


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.


Formulae for area of circle triangle parallelogram and rectangle?

Area circle: π × radius² Area triangle: ½ × base × height Area Parallelogram: base × height Area: Rectangle: length × width In a triangle, the base is any side between two vertices and the height is the perpendicular distance from this side to the third vertex. In a parallelogram the base is any side. The height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the side parallel to it.


The length and width of a triangle are each multiplied by 4 find how the perimeter and the area of the rectangle change?

As written, that's confusing. The length and width of a triangle wouldn't have any bearing on the perimeter and area of a rectangle unless they overlap in some drawing that only you are looking at. Let's assume you meant rectangle all along. If the dimensions of a rectangle increased 4 times the perimeter would also increase 4 times. The area would increase 16 times. Try it out. A 2 x 3 rectangle has perimeter 10 and area 6. An 8 x 12 rectangle has perimeter 40 and area 96.
