Question

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area. If their bases are the same length's, how do their lives compare? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Area of rectangle = l × b = height × base = bh
Area of traingle = ½bh'
Area of rectangle = Area of triangle (given)
bh = ½bh'
h' = 2h
It means that the height of the given triangle is double the height of the rectangle.
