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.

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.
