HELP ASAP!! Can you explain how to decompose a rectangle into congruent triangles? How does the area of the decomposed pieces relate to the area of the rectangle

Answer: You would divide the rectangle into half, to form two congruent triangles. When you multiply the area of 1 of the triangles, it gives you the area of both triangles, and so the area of the triangle as a whole
