Answer:

The area of the Triangle is 1/2 the area of the Rectangle

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Ignore the area of the rectangle for the moment, just so you can get the answer.

Area Triangle = 1/2 * b * h

Area Triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 4

Area Triangle = 1/2 32

Area Triangle = 16 square feet.

The area of the rectangle = L * W

L = 8

W = 4

Area of the rectangle = 8*4 = 32
