What will be the ratio between the area of a rectangle and the area of a triangle with one of the sides of rectangle as base and a vertex on the opposite side of rectangle.  Select:
A) 1 : 2
B) 2 : 1
C) 3 : 1
D) Data inadequate
E) None of these
Area of ΔEBC = 1⁄2 × BC × EF   = 1⁄2 × BC × AB[Since, EF = AB]   Area of ΔEBC = 1⁄2 × area of ΔABCD   \ Required ratio = 2 : 1.   Answer 2 : 1
