Answer:

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

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

l - length

w - width

The fromula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=(bh)/(2)$

b - base

h - height

If l = a and w = h, then

$A_\triangle=(lw)/(2)=(1)/(2)lw=(1)/(2)A_\boxed{\ }$

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.
