Answer:
A) The areas of both figures are equal.
B) The area of the rectangle is 15 m^2.
Explanation:
The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:
A = LW = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2
The area of the triangle is half the product of the dimensions of its base and height.
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(6 m)(5 m) = 15 m^2
The areas of both figures are 15 m^2.
