For a triangle with perpandicular height h and base length b, the area of the triangle is given by: A=(1/2)hb Why is this the case? I understand that two identicle triangles can construct a rectangle, so the area is half of the area of its rectangle with lengths and height b and h Is there any other reasoning?
