Question

A rectangle and a triangle with the same base and height have the same area. True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle has 1/2 the area of the rectangle.

Answer 2

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

$A_{\boxed{\ }}=lw$

l - length

w - width

The fromula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base

h - height

If l = a and w = h, then

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{lw}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}lw=\dfrac{1}{2}A_\boxed{\ }$

The area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the rectangle with the same base and height.

The area of the rectangle is equal to twice the area of the triangle with the same base and height.
