The reason why a rectangle and a triangle is different is because a rectangle has four sides and a triangle has three sides.
A triangle has three edges; a rectangle has four.
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 answer will depend on how the triangle is situated within the rectangle (how many of the triangle's vertices coincide with those of the rectangle), and what other information you have.
It is not possible to answer the question without additional information about the triangle and the rectangle.
