Answer:
A= (1/2)b*h
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, the question does not state the claims of both Jenny and Chris.
though we can still move on to answer as the area of a triangle is expressed as
Area= half base time hight (pronounced)
and stated mathematically as
A= (1/2)b*h
the ideal of the area of a triangle is taken from the area of the rectangle divided into two from the diagonal to form two triangles
the area of a rectangle (shown in the attachment ) = b*h
now since the rectangle consists of two half triangle,
one triangle will have its area to be half the area of the rectangle
hence
area of the rectangle = (1/2)b*h
