A square has a side length of \(10\text{ cm}\). A triangle has a base of \(20\text{ cm}\) and a height of \(10\text{ cm}\). Compare their areas.

Both areas are exactly equal

The square has a larger area

The triangle has a larger area

The areas cannot be evaluated

Both areas are exactly equal

Area of the square = \(10^2 = 100\text{ cm}^2\). Area of the triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 10 = 100\text{ cm}^2\).
