Question

Explain how to decompose a triangle into congruent triangles. How do those decomposed pieces relate to the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

First you would have to divide the rectangle into half, to form two congruent triangles. Then if you multiply the area of 1 of the triangles, it will give you the area of both triangles, and so the area of the triangle as a whole.
