Which explanation best explains why the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2bh ? Which explanation best explains why the formula for the area of a triangle is ? A. A parallelogram can be cut into any two triangles B. A parallelogram can be cut into two congruent triangles, so a parallelogram with the same base and height of one the triangle can be divided by 2 in order to find the area of the triangle C. The formula can be used only for equilateral triangles, as the base would equal the height and could then be divided by 2 D. The height of any triangle can be multiplied by the base, which is guaranteed to be half of its height
