A triangle and a parallelogram each have a base of 8 centimetres and a perpendicular height of 5 centimetres. Select all the statements that are true about their areas.

Erklärung

With the same base and perpendicular height the parallelogram measures 8 times 5, while the triangle takes only half of that product, so one covers 40 and the other 20. Treating the two as equal ignores the half that separates the triangle rule from the parallelogram rule, even though both use identical measurements.
