What is the relation between the area of a triangle and a parallelogram on the same base and between the same parallels?

ATriangle = Parallelogram
BTriangle = 2 * Parallelogram
CTriangle = 0.5 * Parallelogram
DTriangle = 0.25 * Parallelogram

✓ Correct Answer: CTriangle = 0.5 * Parallelogram

A triangle's area is half the area of a parallelogram if they share the same base and height (same parallels).
