They are both polygon. If you cut a rectangle diagonally, you will have two triangles. And if you want to figure out the area of a right triangle, you can treat it as a rectangle and then cut your calculation in half to get the correct answer.
It doesn't make any difference what the original dimensions are. If they're both cut in half, the area is reduced to 1/4 of the original area.
Because otherwise you would have found the area of the rectangle/square (the rectangle/square being if you put two of the triangles together).
Yes of course. Each rectangle will have a width half its length.
You would get two right-angled triangles.
