Answer:

The area of the triangle is 0.5 square units more than the area of the parallelogram.

Explanation:

The vertical sides of the parallelogram are 3 units long and separated by 2 units. Hence the area of that figure is 3×2 = 6 square units.

The leg lengths of the right triangle are each

√(2^2 + 3^2) = √13

so the area of the triangle is ...

A = (1/2)(√13)^2 = 13/2 = 6.5

The triangle has area 0.5 square units more than the parallelogram.
