We have the following:

the area of the triangle is given by the base and by the height of the triangle, in this case we are going to suppose that a square is a unit. therefore:


\begin{gathered} A_A=(4\cdot5)/(2)=(20)/(2)=10 \\ A_B=(4\cdot5)/(2)=(20)/(2)=10 \\ A_C=(4\cdot5)/(2)=(20)/(2)=10 \end{gathered}

Which means that in reality the 3 triangles have the same area, although they are different, they present the same area
