Always, let’s put an example that the base and the height is 6 and 8 and when you try to get the area with those numbers on a rectangle is 48 and the half of 48 is 24 and when trying to get the area of a triangle with those same numbers you get 24 so it’s always.

Answer:

Always.

Explanation:

That is the reason why when you are trying to calculate the area of a triangle you do the base x height divided by two or in half. If you printed out the triangle twice then cut it out and put the two together it would be a rectangle.
